Five-star prospect TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 1 RB in the 2021 class and Ohio State's highest-ranked RB since Beanie Wells, has officially become a Buckeye.
As long as the Buckeyes beat Northwestern this weekend, it's unlikely anyone jumps them for a spot in the playoff, even with Florida still sitting seventh in the rankings.
Ohio State's players were upset they didn't get to play The Game, but it's making them appreciate every moment more as they continue to pursue their bigger goals.
Justin Fields becomes the fourth two-time winner of the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year award, joining Drew Brees, Braxton Miller and Saquon Barkley.
Ohio State has nine offensive players honored to the All-Big Ten team, including six first-team selections, with Justin Fields, Wyatt Davis and Garrett Wilson among them.
Justin Fields said he was “really actually close” to committing to Northwestern back in 2016 before his recruitment blew up and he became a five-star prospect.
Ryan Day said it's “pretty humbling” Pat Fitzgerald gave Day his vote for Big Ten Coach of the Year, and he thinks both Fitzgerald and Tom Allen would be worthy of the award.
Northwestern wide receiver Riley Lees said the Wildcats were happy just to win the Big Ten West two years ago, but they enter this year's championship game with bigger goals.
