The Walter Camp Football Foundation announced its pre-season All-American choices for the upcoming season and Ohio State was well represented. The Buckeyes had four total selections with two being selected to the first team and two to the second team.

Oddly, C.J. Stroud was left off of the Walter Camp pre-season All-American list. We can understand first-team honors going to reigning Heisman winner, Bryce Young of Alabama. The Tide QB has earned that distinction. However, we can’t understand Stroud being left off in favor of USC quarterback, Caleb Williams.
Stroud finished the 2021 season as strong as anyone and the expectations are that he’ll pick up right where he left off. This is no slight on Williams, but Stroud proved his value and should have more overall talent around him as Lincoln Riley looks to rebuild USC and bring the Trojans back to national prominence.
Maybe this will be a chip on Stroud’s shoulder giving him yet another reason to prove people wrong again as he did all last year.
Regardless, here are the four Buckeyes that made the cut.
