Ryan Day, Buckeyes Appear to Be Zeroing in on a Trio of Midwest Playmakers to Fill the 2020 Need at H-Back

Whether you refer to it as the H-back, slot, or simply the playmaker position, one of Ohio State's more coveted offensive roles continues to deliver. We've seen Braxton Miller, Curtis Samuel, and Parris Campbell all make a tremendous impact as each of them was able to compile stats as a rusher and a receiver.

That trend will undoubtedly continue into 2019 with guys like K.J. Hill, Demario McCall, and redshirt freshman Jaelen Gill all potentially in line to see some handoffs and receptions. It was a staple under Urban Meyer and the often-dubbed "Percy Harvin role" – even if it has evolved since his time at Florida – will live on with Ryan Day at the helm.
