Hey folks. We’re just a week away from the start of Ohio State football. The Buckeyes are set to break the seal on the 2020 season next Saturday against Nebraska at home, and the anticipation couldn’t be higher after all the drama of even getting to this point.
To have that reality hit home even further, the Big Ten announced its preseason Big Ten division teams on Friday, and a trio of Buckeyes were recognized. A media panel selected the 10-member preseason list, with five representatives each from the East and West Divisions.
The conference no longer selects a robust selection of preseason awards, but it does name a preseason East and West Division team. On the East Division preseason team, right guard Wyatt Davis, quarterback Justin Fields, and cornerback Shaun Wade all made the team.
Rounding out the East Division team are Michigan defensive end Kwity Paye and tight end Pat Freiermuth of Penn State.
The West Division team consists of two players from Minnesota. Wide receiver Rashod Batement and quarterback Tanner Morgan made the cut, and are joined by Northwestern linebacker Paddy Fisher, Purdue wide receiver Rondale Moore, and Wisconsin linebacker Jack Sanborn.
