The two Buckeyes were named Academic All-Americans by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Boren, a second teamer last season, is a repeat All-American. With the two selections, it brings Ohio State's All-American honor roll to 51 honorees and 28 first-time selections.
Boren carries a 3.83 GPA and majors in sustainable systems. Wiloughby, a magna cum laude Duke graduate, is pursuing a master's in agricultural environmental and developmental economics.
Boren achieved two of the highest academic honors available to a Buckeye footballer: He was previously named a William V. Campbell Trophy finalist, which recognizes the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation.
Boren is a two-time Big Ten Conference Distinguished Scholar, a two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree and a four-time OSU Scholar-Athlete. He has played in 43 games for the Buckeyes and has started 27 consecutive games at center. He was named third-team all-Big Ten this week by the league’s coaches and voting media.
Willoughby handled all of the kicking responsibilities for the Buckeyes for the first nine games of the season. Despite never attempting a field goal until this year, Willoughby is 7-of-11 in that department plus has made a Big Ten-best 45-of-45 extra points.
