  2023 ALL-BIG TEN HONORABLE MENTION: A.J. Henning,...Rounding out the offensive recognitions for the Wildcats is wide receiver AJ Henning. In his first season with Northwestern after transferring from Michigan was a true Swiss army knife for the Wildcats, recording five different games with double-digit rushing and receiving yards while being used in a variety of ways lined up outside, in the slot, and in the backfield. Henning proved himself as a deep threat, catching four passes of more than 30 yards. He also regularly contributed as kick returner for the 'Cats, finishing fourth in the Big Ten in kick return yards with 330. Henning's 76.82 all-purpose yards per game rank 13th among all Big Ten players this season. - Northwestern Football

Mueller also led the team with three interceptions on the year (tied for eighth in the Big Ten), including crucial takeaways in the final minutes of the Wildcats' last two regular season wins over Purdue and Illinois.
