Michigan Tops List of All-Americans[/SIZE]
Ann Arbor, MI (AP) - More recognition for the Wolverines was released today with the 2011 All-American teams and All-Conference teams as Michigan leads the All-American team with five players, all on the 1st team (none on the 2nd).

Michigan's defensive line has had quarterbacks and offensive lines in fits all year long[/SIZE]
Michigan's defensive line has three players as they wrecked havoc on offensive lines all season long leading every team in the nation with 45 total sacks combined. Due to that, both defensive ends redshirt Senior Ryan Van Bergen & Junior Craig Roh, anchored with Senior DT Mike Martin are named 1st Team All-Americans. Also joining them is pleasently surprising Sophomore FS Carvin Johnson in the secondary and Senior WR/RET Darryl Stonum as the teams returner. Also a notable selection is Michigan's backup redshirt Freshman FS Josh Furman who happened to make the Freshman Team. An interesting combo of free safeties to keep your eye on, as they could be leading the secondary of for years to come.
