Nebraska linebacker Mohamed Barry and cornerback DiCaprio Bootle were the only two Huskers named to the conferences All-Big Ten defensive teams selected by the league's coaches and media on Tuesday.

Barry was named a third selection team by the media, while Bootle was a unanimous third team selection by both the coaches and media.

A sophomore, Bootle registered 15 pass breakups on the season, tying for the second-most PBU's in Nebraska history and the most since 2004. He ranked fourth in the Big Ten and 17th nationally in passes defended per game.
