Ohio State's punter was named Thursday as a second-team All-Big Ten selection, as voted on by the coaches. He was not among the media voters' All-Big Ten selections.

Chrisman has averaged 45.2 yards per punt on 18 punts this season, including six 50-yard punts and eight punts downed inside the 20-yard line. He had his best game of the year in Ohio State's final game of the regular season against Michigan State in which he averaged 53.4 yards per punt – including a 74-yard punt – and downed two punts inside the 2-yard line.
He previously earned third-team All-Big Ten honors in 2018 and was an All-Big Ten honorable mention in 2019.
Chrisman was Ohio State's only All-Big Ten honoree on special teams, joining nine offensive players and seven defensive players who were named to All-Big Ten teams.
Fifth-year senior defensive end Jonathon Cooper, a two-time team captain, was also recognized Thursday as Ohio State's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award honoree for this season.
