Congratulations to Michigan graduate forward Yaxel Lendeborg on being named 2025-26 Big 10 men’s basketball Player of the Year!

After spending the last two seasons with UAB, Lendeborg transferred to Michigan for his final college season. The New Jersey-native averaged 14.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks-per-game for the Wolverines, who went 29-2 with just one loss in conference play en route to a Big 10 regular season title.

Lendeborg is the ninth player in Michigan history to win conference Player of the Year and the first since Michigan went back-to-back in 2013 and 2014.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the players to be named Big 10 men’s basketball Player of the Year since 2000-01 can you name in five minutes?
