ROSEMONT, Ill. -- The Big Ten announced on Tuesday the 28 honorees named Outstanding Sportsmanship Award winners for the 2021-22 academic year. Illinois' Taylor Jackson (baseball) and Lakyn Wagoner (softball) are recipients of this year's award, chosen from a group of 350 students honored throughout the academic year who displayed positive sportsmanship. 

One member of each varsity sports team on every campus was chosen by his or her institution as a Sportsmanship Award honoree, and two Outstanding Sportsmanship Award winners were then selected from each institution. All of the Sportsmanship Award winners have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. In addition, these honorees must be in good academic standing and must have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting. 

The 2022 Big Ten Outstanding Sportsmanship Award winners appear below. The complete list of Sportsmanship Award honorees can be viewed here.
