The Big Ten makes it official – J.K. Dobbins and Nick Bosa are good at football.
The Buckeye duo was named part of the Big Ten East Division's five preseason honorees on Monday morning, joining Michigan's Rashan Gary, Michigan State's Brian Lewerke and Penn State's Trace McSorley.

The news is hardly shocking considering both were some of the most dominant players in the country last season.
Bosa is the reigning Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year while J.K. Dobbins had one of the most spectacular debut seasons in program history, narrowly missing out on the conference's freshman of the year award, which went Wisconsin's Jonathan Taylor.
The Big Ten West's five honorees were named on Monday morning as well. The list includes Iowa's Noah Fant, Nebraska's Stanley Morgan Jr., Northwestern's Paddy Fisher, and Wisconsin's T.J. Edwards and Taylor.

Wisconsin and Ohio State were the only two teams with more than one divisional honoree.
