The Michigan State football season didn't go as we all wanted it to, but there were still some postseason recognition to be handed out for a number of Spartans.

A handful of Spartans received All-Big Ten honors this week, with a total of seven different players either landing on one of the All-Big Ten teams or receiving honorable mention. Spartans star punter Ryan Eckley was the lone first-team selection for Michigan State, with a majority of the players being honorable mention selections.

• Omari Kelly - honorable mention (media)
• Matt Gulbin - honorable mention (media)
• Nick Marsh - honorable mention (coaches and media)
