Price was recognized as a first-teamer, while Ward was named a second-team All-American. This season, his first at center, Price has been a mainstay along the offensive line, helping Ohio State's 17th-ranked rushing attack. Ward has had an excellent season as well as Ohio State's No. 1 cornerback, registering 15 tackles (2 TFL), one interception and nine pass breakups.
Other notable players included are Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield, Penn State running back Saquon Barkley, Iowa linebacker Josey Jewell on the first team, and one-time Buckeye commit and current Auburn cornerback Carlton Davis on the second team.
