After a stellar season in the NCAA, Canadian quarterback Kurtis Rourke has been named to the second team for the All-Big Ten selections.
A native of Oakville, Rourke led his No. 10 Indiana Hoosiers to one of their best regular seasons in school history with a 11-1 record. Indiana's only loss came against No. 2 Ohio Sate on Nov. 23.
