Five B1G commits make USA Today's All-USA Offense teams
You know your recruiting class is loaded when it has national players of the year on both sides of the ball.
That’s exactly what Ohio State has.
On Wednesday, USA Today named Buckeye commit Shaun Wade its All-USA Defensive Player of the Year. On Thursday, USA Today named Buckeye commit Tate Martell its All-USA Offensive Player of the Year.
Martell completed the Ohio State sweep of national players of the year, which didn’t come as a major surprise. The Gatorade National Player of the Year led Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) to a 15-0 record after accounting for 62 touchdowns and over 3,500 yards this season.
Like Wade, Martell wasn’t the only future Buckeye to get some national recognition from USA Today. Five-star offensive guard Wyatt Davis was named to the first-team, as was fellow five-star offensive lineman Josh Myers and future OSU kicker Blake Haubeil.
