C.J. Stroud repeats as the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and Quarterback of the Year.
Through 12 games, Stroud threw 3,340 passing yards, 37 touchdowns and six interceptions while completing 66.2% of his passes. Stroud's passing yardage led the conference, he threw 15 more touchdown passes than the next-best Big Ten quarterback and tossed the second-fewest picks among passers who played in at least 12 games.
Stroud extends Ohio State's reign over the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year honor to five straight years, as Dwayne Haskins won it in 2018 and Justin Fields took it home in back-to-back seasons for his efforts in 2019 and 2020. An Ohio State quarterback has now won the Big Ten's Quarterback of the Year award for seven straight years, with either J.T. Barrett, Haskins, Fields or Stroud earning the honor every season since 2016.
Stroud's 3,340 yards are the third-most ever in a single season for the Buckeyes, behind only Stroud's 4,435 in 2021 and Haskins' 4,831 in 2018. A Buckeye quarterback has only thrown for more passing touchdowns in three previous seasons. Fields threw 41 in 2019, Stroud tossed 44 a year ago and Haskins possesses the all-time record with 50 in 2018.
