The honors continue to pour in for Justin Fields.

The second-year starting quarterback was named the Associated Press' Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year on Tuesday, and he and three of his teammates – left tackle Thayer Munford, right guard Wyatt Davis and cornerback Shaun Wade – were voted as first-team All-Big Ten honorees by the AP.

This is the second year in a row that Fields has been chosen as the conference's best offensive player by AP voters, a group that includes 24 reporters who cover Big Ten football teams. If it feels like Fields just won these awards, that's because he did. A week ago, the Big Ten named him as its Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season, but this latest honor comes from the AP.

Wide receivers Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave, center Josh Myers, running back Master Teague, defensive tackles Haskell Garrett and Tommy Togiai, linebacker Pete Werner and punter Drue Chrisman represented the Buckeyes as second-team All-Big Ten selections by the AP.

All players honored by the AP both offensive and defensive were previously named All-Big Ten by the conference last week.
