Another day, another All-American list that includes Ohio State players.
Sporting News dropped its All-American list on Wednesday and USA Today followed suit Thursday, naming Ohio State center Pat Elflein and safety Malik Hooker to its first team. Punter Cameron Johnston and middle linebacker Raekwon McMillan received second team nods.
Elflein is a finalist for the Rimington Trophy and Outland Award as the nation's best center and offensive lineman, which are set to be announced Thursday night as part of the college football awards show.
Alabama led all teams with five selections, four on defense. The four Buckeyes were second-most, while their opponent in the Fiesta Bowl, Clemson, had three.
Eleven SEC players led all conferences in selections, while the Big Ten was second with 10.
