James Laurinaitis continues to be showered with preseason recognition. This is almost getting out of hand. I said, almost!

This update contains the latest All-America and All-Conference honors as bestowed by Phil Steele in his annual “College Football Preview”.

James was named to the All-America 1st team along with his Buckeye teammates Beanie Wells, Marcus Freeman, Malcolm Jenkins, and Alex Boone. Steve Rehring and Brian Robiskie were 3rd and 4th team respectively.

Steele’s Big Ten All-Conference list is out as well. To no one’s surprise, Ohio State cleaned up there too.

The same 1st teamers from the national All-America list, were also 1st team All-Conference. Robiskie and Rehring jumped up to 1st team, joining them, as well as Anderson Russell. QB Todd Boeckman, Safety Kurt Coleman, Kicker Ryan Pretorious, and Punter AJ Trapasso made the 2nd team.

I’m entirely too lazy to type out all the Buckeye pwnage in the All-Conference honors, so be sure to check it out for yourself!
