Ohio State football signees Paris Johnson and Kourt Williams finalists for All-American Bowl Man of the Year Award

Ohio State signees Paris Johnson Jr, and Kourt Williams are two of six finalists for the All-American Bowl’s Man of the Year.

If you’ve followed Ohio State football over the last few years, there has been a definitive and cultural shift in the program. It still goes after the best of the best talent, but there’s no doubt that character is a big, big part of recruiting a kid to Columbus these days. Not that it wasn’t before, and not that other programs don’t focus on it, but I am continually pleased and proud of the way Buckeye players conduct themselves in interviews and both on and off the field.

And here’s another nod to that.

According to a release by the All-American Bowl, Ohio State football signees Paris Johnson Jr., and Kourt Williams have both been named as part of six finalists for the bowl’s Man of the Year Award.

It could be history repeating itself. Last season, Ohio State 2019 signee and now freshman wide-receiver Garrett Wilson was a finalist and ultimately won the award. Could another future OSU player do it again?

According to the All-American Bowl’s website, “Nominees epitomize a high standard of excellence in community service and athletic distinction.” There’s no bout the Ohio State program is set to usher in some more great player, but perhaps more importantly, some great kids.

The award is set to be handed out during the 2020 All-American Bowl Awards Show on Friday, January 3rd in San Antonio, Texas.

We will of course inform you if either Williams or Johnson takes home the honor.

Watch: Ohio State WR Garrett Wilson goes up and over Clemson defender for unbelievable catch

We have a Garrett Wilson sighting in the Fiesta Bowl. Watch as he goes up and over a Clemson defender for an unbelievable catch.

We heard about the ball skills of freshman wide-receiver Garrett Wilson before he even came to Ohio State. As a five-star wideout, the thought was that he could contribute immediately once on campus. It have taken him a little while to get going, but we started seeing some of that potential realized later in the year (right Michigan?).

Now he’s beginning to get even more targets and more playing time. He’s already showed out in a big way early on in the Fiesta Bowl.

Watch as Wilson goes up and over a Clemson defender to high point the ball and come down just in bounds for a big play. The ruling on the field was originally an incomplete pass, but it was overturned after a review.

Ohio State wide-receiver Garrett Wilson is starting to realize his potential

Ohio State freshman wide-receiver Garrett Wilson has started to realize his potential, and perhaps just in time.

It may have taken him a bit to get cooking this year, but freshman wide-receiver Garrett Wilson has begun to live up to the hype, especially since he came into a program with a deep receiving corp already in place.

Many fans thought that he would be the next Ted Ginn, Jr. or Santonio Holmes, and it’s still possible considering next year he might be featured along with Christ Olave. But just how big of an impact has he this year as a true freshman, let’s dive into the stats?

 

To date, Wilson is fourth on the team in total receiving yards with 385 yards. combine that with five touchdowns and the team responsibility of being the team’s punt returner, and one could say this has been a solid freshman season.

Wilson seems to be making similar strides as what Chris Olave did with his breakout game against That Team Up North. With a College Football Playoff Semifinal matchup coming in the Fiesta Bowl against Clemson, Ohio Sate might be hoping to hear his name called even more.
