Five Ohio State players recognized as FWAA All-Americans

Ohio State had five players total appearing across the First and Second-Team FWAA All-American squads.

The Football Writers Association of America released its All-American Teams Thursday, and five Ohio State players have been named. Defensive end Chase Young and cornerback Jeff Okudah were named on the First Team defense, while J.K. Dobbins was named as a First Team All-Purpose performer.

Quarterback Justin Fields and offensive lineman Wyatt Davis also made the cut, both being named as FWAA Second-Team All-Americans.

Ohio State tied Wisconsin for the most First Teamers with three each, but the Buckeyes led all programs with five total players being named between the two teams. LSU was second with four players being recognized.

As a side note, with Chase Young and Jeff Okudah appearing on the FWAA squad, that makes both consensus All-Americans. The two also appeared on the AP, AFCA, Sporting News, and Walter Camp All-American teams.
