Ohio State is the only team in college football with three FWAA Freshman All-Americans this year.
Redshirt freshman quarterback C.J. Stroud, true freshman running back TreVeyon Henderson and true freshman cornerback Denzel Burke were all named 2021 Freshman All-Americans by the Football Writers Association of America, which revealed its annual team of the nation’s best freshmen on Monday.
Stroud earns Freshman All-American honors after a spectacular first season as Ohio State’s starting quarterback in which he completed 71.9 percent of his passing attempts for 4,435 yards and 44 touchdowns – ranking in the top five nationally in all three categories – with only six interceptions, earning Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year honors and fourth place in the Heisman Trophy race along the way.
