The coaches recognized safety Jaquan Brisker on the second team. The media recognized cornerback Joey Porter Jr., a redshirt freshman, and safety Lamont Wade on the third team.

Honorable mentions went to defensive tackles PJ Mustipher and Antonio Shelton, linebacker Brandon Smith and cornerback Tariq Castro-Fields.
