- All-Americans
Ohio State football has a rich All-American history, including 93 consensus selections, 39 of whom were unanimous All-Americans.
Five lists are used to determine consensus and unanimous All-Americans – the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), the Associated Press (AP), the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), Sporting News, and the Walter Camp Football Foundation (WCFF). A player appearing on the first-team of three of those lists is a consensus All-American while a player appearing on the first-team of all five is a unanimous All-American.
