It's still not quite preseason watch list time quite yet, but there is some preseason hype trickling out as we approach the 2026 college football season. The latest is the Preseason Walter Camp All-American teams, and anytime we're gazing at a list of really good collegiate American football players, Ohio State is more than likely going to be a big part of it.

In this case, the Buckeyes have three players appearing as Walter Camp Preseason All-Americans. To nobody's surprise, receiver Jeremiah Smith is on the First Team, and he is joined by offensive lineman Austin Siereveld. Not to be outdone, preseason Heisman frontrunner, quarterback Julian Sayin, is listed on the Second Team.

What else can be said about Smith as he enters his junior season, set to shatter numerous OSU receiving records? Despite what the awards shows and national media say, he's the best player in college football.

Siereveld was a revelation last offseason and was arguably the best Ohio State offensive lineman last year once he was given the starting left tackle. He might move to a different spot on the line for his upcoming redshirt junior year (that's a good thing), but he figures to anchor that unit again.

As far as Sayin goes, we all know his ability to process information, his quick release, and his ability to put it in small windows. He led all of FBS with passing accuracy last season, and he figures to build on a redshirt freshman season that took him to New York as a Heisman finalist. Last season, he threw for 3,610 yards and 32 touchdowns to just eight interceptions. Don't be surprised if those numbers are even better this fall.

We'll continue to keep an eye on all the recognition Ohio State players receive in the preseason as we steam ahead towards the start of the 2026 college football season.
