At Wide Receiver, Ohio State has quite the collection at the position that oozes with potential. The majority of the weapons at the position have returned with a new type of Quarterback at the helm, who could sling it all over the field.
From the playmakers from a season ago in Johnnie Dixon, Parris Campbell, K.J. Hill, Austin Mack, Terry McLaurin, and Binjimen Victor to the younger players in Elijah Gardener and Jaylen Harris, the talent accumulated at Ohio State is undeniable. Factor in the haul in the 2018 recruiting class in Kamryn Babb, L’Christian “Blue” Smith, Chris Olave, and Cameron Brown, this group is both deep and talented.
The expectation at Ohio State remains the same, win every battle and play your heart out. With the experienced members, that remains intact with Haskins at the helm. For the younger players and incoming freshmen, they have leaders atop the depth chart and a great coach to lean on and to learn from.
All players on the roster have built a bond that is strong and unbreakable, and with their playmakers from a season ago being so close to graduation, they will surely be auditioning for their shot at the NFL while teaching the younger players the ins and the outs at Ohio State. These younger players will need to learn quickly and absorb the tips of the trade prior to their departure.
I truly expect a change in the offense that will emphasize a balance between the passing and the running gameplans that will keep defenses off-balanced. These players have the talent to assist in the quest for another stellar season and it will be up to them and the coaches to figure things out as the season progresses.
