Still added MVP honors to a growing list of awards that he has received in the past few weeks. They include four first-team All-America nods (Walter Camp Football Foundation, Football Writers Association of America, CBSsports.com and AT&T/ESPN) as well as the 2011 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and Defensive Lineman of the Year honors. Still gives Penn State 10 first-team All-Americans in the past seven years.
