Third-Team All-Big Ten Defensive Tackle Haskell Garrett is named a First-Team All-American.
Yes, you read that right.
On Wednesday, Garrett was named just third-team All-Big Ten by the conference's coaches and didn't even make any of the media's all-conference teams after emerging as one of the most dominant interior linemen in the country.
Less than a week later, he was named a first-team All-American by Pro Football Focus, and he understandably had some thoughts for the Big Ten's coaches and media.

This season, Garrett had 17 total tackles, four tackles for loss, two sacks and a pick-six to go along with the relentless pressure he's put on opposing quarterbacks this season in addition to his run-stopping ability.
Of course, this all comes just a few months after he was shot in the face while trying to break up a fight and was miraculously ready to play – and dominate – in Ohio State's season opener.
It's been a wild ride and an unbelievable season for Garrett. At least somebody is giving him the recognition he deserves.
