With a little over a week away from Big Ten media days, we are starting to see which Ohio State stars and position groups are most highly regarded by different outlets.
The Buckeyes are coming off another 10-plus win season, and a berth in the College Football Playoff. Crazy to think that the 2022 season was viewed as a disappointment, but here we are.
However, as the 2023 season approaches, many wrongs can be righted this fall. It won’t be easy — it never is — there are multiple holes left from stars that moved on from Columbus. There is still some firepower left as Pro Football Focus released its All-Big Ten team with multiple Ohio State players on it.
Find out below which three Buckeye stars made the list.

Did they get it right?
Close, but not quite. There is a big-time argument that guard Donovan Jackson should be on this list. A multiple-year starter who will anchor the interior of the Buckeye offensive line deserves more credit. After all, he was selected as a first-team All-Big Ten performer last season.

Did they get it right?
Nope, it was a swing and a miss on defense. End J.T. Tuimoloau had a much better season than one of the other selections, Aaron Lewis. The Buckeye had more sacks, interceptions, forced fumbles, and passes batted down. It’s safe to say PFF whiffed on its omission of Tuimoloau.
