Ohio State Football: True Freshmen Who Need to Make an Instant Impact in 2016

Ohio State will field a very young team when it kicks off its 2016 campaign against Bowling Green this September, and with so many holes in the current depth chart, true freshmen Austin Mack, Michael Jordan and Nick Bosa have a big opportunity to make an impact this fall.

The Buckeyes, who are replacing eight starters on each side of the ball, wrapped up spring practice last month and are bracing for summer conditioning and fall camp. That's when head coach Urban Meyer and the coaching staff will cement their depth chart and determine who will see the field for a potential Big Ten title and playoff run.
