LSU, Ohio St. dominate AP All-America teams

No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Ohio State each placed three players on The Associated Press All-America first team released Monday.

Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow of LSU highlights the first-team offense and Heisman finalist Chase Young of Ohio State leads the defense on the team that was chosen by a panel of 15 poll voters.

The top-ranked Tigers also placed wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and cornerback Derek Stingley on the first team. Young was joined on the first team by Ohio State teammates Wyatt Davis, a guard, and Jeff Okudah, a cornerback.

Georgia, Kentucky and Wisconsin were the other teams with multiple first-team selections.

Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor is the only player to repeat as a first-team All-American this season.

Ohio State led all teams with seven players selected to the three teams.

Alabama had no players selected to the first team for the first time since 2010, but had five players combined on the second and third teams.

Figure skating: Renowned coach Richard Callaghan, who tutored Tara Lipinski to the gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Olympics, had his lifetime ban for alleged sexual misconduct reduced to a three-year suspension. The decision came after a hearing involving the U.S. Center for SafeSport. Callaghan, 73, will also serve 15 years of probation and be required to complete 100 hours of community service. The original ban was handed down in August after an ex-student, Adam Schmidt, filed a lawsuit alleging he was sexually abused when he was 14. That incident followed claims of sexual misconduct from Craig Maurizi, himself an Olympic coach who said Callaghan had an inappropriate relationship with him in the 1970s. Callaghan denied the allegations.
