Nearly all of Ohio State's starters, plus a few others, were named champions for their performance in Saturday's Big Ten Championship Game.
Justin Fields, who completed just 12 of his 27 passing attempts against Northwestern, was the only offensive starter who didn't earn champion honors this week. Offensive player of the game Trey Sermon was joined on his side of the ball by the entire starting offensive line of Thayer Munford, Harry Miller, Josh Myers, Wyatt Davis and Nicholas Petit-Frere; tight ends Luke Farrell and Jeremy Ruckert; and wide receivers Garrett Wilson, Julian Fleming, Jameson Williams and Kamryn Babb.
Fleming and Babb both earn champion honors for the first time in their Ohio State careers.
On defense, player of the game Justin Hilliard is joined by defensive tackles Tommy Togiai, Haskell Garrett and Taron Vincent; defensive ends Jonathon Cooper, Zach Harrison and Tyreke Smith; and the starting secondary of Shaun Wade, Sevyn Banks, Josh Proctor and Marcus Williamson. Linebackers Tuf Borland and Pete Werner were the only defensive starters who weren't named champions for their performances in the Buckeyes' 22-10 win.
Vincent earned his first champion honor of the season.
Zach Hoover, who filled in for Drue Chrisman at punter, earned special teams player of the game honors while freshman cornerback Cameron Martinez and walk-ons Darryl Sinclair, Patrick Gurd and Danny Vanatsky were the scout team players of the week.
