Ohio State has another unanimous All-American.

Right guard Wyatt Davis became the latest Ohio State player to earn the honor when he was named a first-team All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation, sweeping first-team honors from all five selectors – the Associated Press, AFCA, FWAA, Sporting News and Walter Camp Football Foundation – who determine consensus and unanimous All-Americans.

Davis, who was already a first-team All-American in 2019 but not a consensus All-American, is the third Buckeye to earn unanimous All-American honors in the last two years, following former Ohio State defensive end Chase Young and cornerback Jeff Okudah last season.

Cornerback Shaun Wade and defensive tackle Haskell Garrett were also named second-team All-Americans by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

Davis had already earned his tree in Buckeye Grove last year, but Wade and Garrett will also both get trees after earning first-team All-American honors for the 2020 season from other nationally recognized selectors.

Those All-American selections were the only Ohio State players to win awards during ESPN's College Football Awards show on Thursday night. Josh Myers was a finalist for the Rimington Trophy, which honors college football's best center, but that award went to Alabama's Landon Dickerson, who won't play in Monday's national championship game due to a knee injury.
