Ohio State Wide Receiver Chris Olave Named to Walter Camp Player of the Year Watch List

Chris Olave has been named as one of the 35 best players in college football.

The Ohio State wide receiver was one of 35 players named Friday to the Walter Camp Player of the Year award watch list, the final watch list of the NCFAA's two-week rollout of preseason watch lists.

Olave is one of just four wide receivers on the preseason watch list for the Walter Camp Award, which honors college football's best player, along with Arkansas’ Treylon Burks, Alabama’s John Metchie III and Clemson’s Justyn Ross.

The Ohio State senior, who already has 111 career catches for 1,775 yards and 22 touchdowns, had already been named to the watch lists for the Maxwell Award, which also honors college football's best player, and the Biletnikoff Award, which honors the nation's best wide receiver.
