Add Vonn Bell to the list of Ohio State All-Americans this season. The Buckeyes' junior safety became the latest first-team All-American on Thursday when he was named to Sports Illustrated's First Team.
Bell was joined by offensive tackle Taylor Decker and defensive end Joey Bosa on the first team. Ohio State's second-team selections included running back Ezekiel Elliott, offensive guard Pat Elflein and linebacker Darron Lee.
Decker and Bosa were each named first-team All-Americans by CBS Sports earlier Thursday. Bosa was also named a first-team All-American by USATODAY.
Bell was the unquestioned leader of Ohio State's secondary. He was the Buckeyes' fourth-leading tackler with 63 on the season. Bell also had nine pass breakups and two interceptions on the season while scoring a pair of defensive touchdowns.
blessed to be named an 1st Team AA. All the Glory goes to God I got me a
