Ohio State Football has four Preseason AP All-Americans

The Ohio State football team is well represented on the Preseason All-American team from the Associated Press, as they have four members on that team for 2021.

The Ohio State football program has had plenty of members of the team on various watchlists and preseason All-American teams. That trend continues today after four Buckeyes were named to the Preseason AP All-American team, with two being on the First-Team and two others on the Second-Team.

Chris Olave is one of the members of the First-Team. This comes as no surprise, as he might be the best receiver in the country. He could have been a first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft if he had decided to come out. Instead, he stayed to try to win a national title with the Buckeyes.

Haskell Garrett is the other Buckeye that joins him on the First-Team. Garrett was a monster last season and didn’t get the credit he deserved from the Big Ten media. Now, he is finally starting to earn some respect that he very richly deserves.

Garrett Wilson was named Second-Team All American by the AP. It’s amazing that the Buckeyes have two receivers as preseason All-Americans. Wilson might be more physically talented than Olave too. He is primed for another big season in Columbus.

Thayer Munford is the final member of the AP All-American Team, also taking Second-Team honors. Munford will slide over to guard this season and should be just as effective there as he has been at left tackle the last few seasons. Another good year should prime him to be a first-round pick next season.

I fully expect all of these Buckeyes to live up to their preseason hype. They are all excellent at their respective positions and are players that can be counted on. The question is whether or not the accumulated talent can push past that final hump and win it all this season.

In just a few days, we’ll start to find that out!
