Eight Buckeyes Named to Phil Steele's 2015 Preseason All-American Teams

It's no secret: Ohio State's 2015 roster is stacked, but today we got another example of how many cards are in Urban Meyer's deck.

Football oracle Phil Steele released his 2015 All-American teams, and the Buckeyes lead the way with eight players in the first three teams.

Steele's website lists the full teams, but here are the only names that matter:

BUCKEYES on PRESEASON ALL-AMERICAN TEAMS
TEAM	PLAYER	POSITION
FIRST	JOEY BOSA	DE
FIRST	EZEKIEL ELLIOTT	RB
SECOND	TAYLOR DECKER	OT
SECOND	PAT ELFLEIN	OG
SECOND	ADOLPHUS WASHINGTON	DT
THIRD	DARRON LEE	LB
THIRD	VONN BELL	S
THIRD	JALIN MARSHALL	PR

(To those who will inevitably ask: USC's Cody Kessler, TCU's Trevone Boykin, Mississippi State's Dak Prescott, and Michigan State's Connor Cook were the QBs to be named over Ohio State's #QBWeaponX.)

On the All-Big Ten level, it's Ohio State and then everybody else. Fun fact: 29% of Phil Steele's Preseason All-Big Ten team wears the Scarlet and Grey.

BUCKEYES ON ALL-BIG TEN
TEAM	NAME	POSITION
FIRST	EZEKIEL ELLIOTT	RB
FIRST	MIKE THOMAS	WR
FIRST	PAT ELFLEIN	OG
FIRST	TAYLOR DECKER	OT
FIRST	DARRON LEE	LB
FIRST	JOEY BOSA	DE
FIRST	VONN BELL	S
FIRST	ADOLPHUS WASHINGTON	DT
SECOND	J.T. BARRET	QB
SECOND	JALIN MARSHALL	WR & PR
SECOND	NICK VANNETT	TE
SECOND	CAMERON JOHNSTON	P
SECOND	JOSHUA PERRY	LB
THIRD	RAEKWON MCMILLAN	LB
THIRD	ELI APPLE	CB
FOURTH	BILLY PRICE	OG
FOURTH:	TYVIS POWELL	CB

I guess this means Phil Steele thinks J.T. Barrett starts in Blacksburg, or that he'll supplant the starter with enough time to have an All-Conference season.
