Ohio State is well-represented in the Big Ten's preseason honors.
The Buckeyes tied with Penn State with three selections on the 16-member squad, with Jeremiah Smith, Caleb Downs and Sonny Styles representing Ohio State. Smith was the conference's only player unanimously chosen by a media panel.
Last season, Smith caught 76 passes for 1,315 yards and 15 wide receivers as a true freshman and has since become college football's most recognizable athlete. Downs is arguably the best returning defensive player in the country and finished with 81 tackles, six pass deflections, two interceptions, a half a sack and a punt return touchdown in his first season in Columbus.
