COLUMBUS, Ohio -- ESPN re-ranked the top 50 players from the 2019 college football season and four Ohio State football players have made the list.
Chase Young is still listed as the top Buckeye on the list, coming in at No. 2 behind LSU quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow of LSU. Young was ranked ninth in the preseason rankings in August. Buckeye quarterback Justin Fields comes in behind the defensive end at No. 3 after being ranked 49th originally, while running back J.K. Dobbins moved up from 35th to 11th. Cornerback Jeffrey Okudah was not included in the top 50 to start the season but now ranks 17th.
Clemson is the only other team to have four players in the top 20 with Trevor Lawrence at No. 4, Isaiah Simmons at No. 7, Travis Etienne at No. 13 and Tee Higgins at No. 18.
