Ohio State had a nation-leading seven players named to the Associated Press All-American teams Monday. Three players — Chase Young, Jeff Okudah and Wyatt Davis, led the way on the first team, while Justin Fields and J.K. Dobbins earned second-team honors. Not to be forgotten, both Jonah Jackson and Malik Harrison were named to the third-team.
It’s been stated several times, but Young leads the country with 16.5 sacks and was also a finalist for the Heisman Trophy along with Justin Fields. Young also made the Big Ten first-team, and was named the Defensive Lineman and Defensive Player of the Year in the league.
Okudah was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award and is projected to go high in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft along with the aforementioned Young. He is a lock-down corner that can come up in run support.
