Pro Football Focus names 4 Ohio State stars to pre-season All-American First Team
Published:
Pro Football Focus released its pre-season All-America team over the weekend, and four Ohio State players made the first team.
That group includes receiver Chris Olave, receiver Garrett Wilson, offensive lineman Thayer Munford and defensive lineman Haskell Garrett.
Tyreke Smith was listed as an honorable mention at the EDGE position.
Olave and Wilson form what most consider to be the best receiver tandem in the country. Olave has led the Buckeyes in receiving yards in each of the last two seasons, and Wilson hasn’t been far behind.
Both players cleared over 700 yards and six touchdowns last season despite the condensed schedule.
Munford was one of Ohio State’s best players last season, earning first team All-Big Ten honors en route to the National Championship Game. He chose to return for a fifth season at Ohio State rather than enter the NFL Draft.
Garrett is also returning for a fifth season of eligibility. He broke out last season, totaling 20 tackles, four tackles for loss, two sacks and one interception in eight games.
Ohio State opens its 2021 season on Sept. 2 against Minnesota.
