Ohio State junior defensive end Joey Bosa was one of five Big Ten players selected to ESPN's annual All-American Team, which was announced Monday.

Bosa was joined by Penn State's Carl Nassib, Wisconsin's Joe Schobert, Iowa's Desmond King and Indiana's Dan Feeney from the Big Ten. Bosa was the lone Ohio State player on the list.

Bosa was also recently named a first-team All-American by CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated and Walter Camp. He was a second-team All-American by the Associated Press.

The 6-foot-6, 275-pound Fort Lauderdale, Florida native saw a dip in his production after a monster sophomore season, but it's hard to argue Bosa's impact on games in 2015 wasn't as significant. The future first-round NFL Draft selection led the seventh-ranked Buckeyes with 16 tackles for loss and was third with five sacks.

Ohio State takes on Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1.
