The Big Ten is expected to officially name its best athletes of the year later this week. Ohio State’s nominee for Big Ten Male Athlete of the Year for 2020-21 is former quarterback Justin Fields, while national championship-winning shot putter Adelaide Aquilla is Ohio State’s Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year nominee.
There were many other Ohio State athletes, though, who also had standout seasons during their 2020-21 campaigns.
In less than two months, a new year in sports will begin for Ohio State – one in which all Ohio State sports teams should have the opportunity to play full, normal schedules, which didn’t happen for many Buckeye sports teams in 2020-21 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
