Another year, another host of All-American awards to be handed out to Ohio State Buckeyes. For Joey Bosa and Taylor Decker, they're already onto their second such award.

CBS Sports released its All-American teams on Wednesday night; Bosa and Decker collected first-team honors while Adolphus Washington was named to the second team. Bosa repeated his 2014 nomination.

Bosa and Decker's accolades need no dusting, but it's good to see Washington, a monster for Ohio State's interior defensive line, get some praise as well. The big fella finished 2015's regular season with 49 tackles, seven tackles for loss, and four sacks.

And only because people will ask without looking: Alabama's Derrick Henry, LSU's Leonard Fournette, Stanford's Christian McCaffrey, and Florida State's Dalvin Cook were the four running backs selected over Ohio State's Ezekiel Elliott.

Former Ohio State safety Jeremy Cash, now at Duke, also earned his second All-American nod of the year.
