Ohio State center Pat Elflein and safety Malik Hooker were named ESPN All-Americans on Monday morning.
The two Buckeye stars were joined by Wisconsin's Ryan Ramczyk and T.J. Watt, and Michigan's Jabrill Peppers and Jourdan Lewis from the Big Ten.
Hooker and Elflein were both recently been named first-team All-Americans by Walter Camp, Sports Illustrated, USA TODAY and Sporting News, as well.
Elflein is the anchor of Ohio State's offensive line and started all 12 games this season at center for the Buckeyes. He was a finalist for the Outland Trophy — given to the best interior lineman in college football — and was the winner of the Rimington Trophy, awarded to the best center in college football.
Hooker emerged as a breakout star in his first year as a starter for Ohio State. He led the Big Ten with six interceptions and returned three of those for touchdowns — also tops in the conference.
