Ohio State had historic success on the field and in the classroom this past fall.
One week after the Buckeyes won their ninth national championship, Donovan Jackson and Seth McLaughlin earned first-team Academic All-American honors, becoming the seventh Ohio State duo to share the accomplishment since 1976. Quinshon Judkins was a second-team honoree.
A first-team All-American on the football field, Jackson carried a 3.68 GPA in the classroom this past fall. The senior offensive lineman graduated in December 2024 with a bachelor’s in sport industry, completing his college career with three Academic All-Big Ten and three OSU Scholar-Athlete awards.
