Marvin Harrison Jr. is a unanimous All-American and Paris Johnson Jr. is a consensus All-American.
Harrison and Johnson secured those honors when both of them were named first-team All-Americans by the American Football Coaches Association, the last of the five organizations that determine unanimous and consensus All-Americans to release its All-America team for the 2022 season.
Ohio State has now had 37 unanimous All-Americans in program history as Harrison becomes the fourth Buckeye in the last four years to earn that distinction along with Wyatt Davis in 2020 and Chase Young and Jeff Okudah in 2019. He is the first wide receiver to ever receive that distinction.

Johnson, meanwhile, joins Harrison in becoming the 91st and 92nd consensus All-Americans in Ohio State history after earning first-team honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation, the Football Writers Association of America and the AFCA. He’s the first Ohio State offensive tackle to earn consensus All-American honors since Orlando Pace was a unanimous All-American in both 1995 and 1996.
In all, four Buckeyes are set to earn trees in Buckeye Grove for earning first-team All-American honors this year, as Dawand Jones earned first-team All-American honors from Pro Football Focus and CBS Sports and Tommy Eichenberg earned first-team All-American from PFF and Bleacher Report.
C.J. Stroud earned his third second-team All-American honor of the year from the AFCA. Stroud did not receive any first-team All-American honors, however, which means he will not be in line for a tree in Buckeye Grove.
