Now that the Big Ten regular season has concluded, we found out today which Ohio State football players earned All-Conference defensive and special teams honors.
One stood out more than the others, but in total 13 different Buckeyes were honored by the conference. Three players made the first team, second team, and third team All-Big Ten, while four players made the honorable mention list.
It was clearly a good season for the Ohio State defense, even if it didn’t end as we all would have liked it to. Find out below which Buckeye defenders/special teams players made the list and who was honored as the best at his position in the conference.
