If you’re looking for a sleeper in Ohio State’s class of 2022 who could make an immediate impact as a freshman, Bennett Christian might be the answer.
As the second-lowest-ranked player in the class, Christian hasn’t gotten as much hype as most of the Buckeyes’ other incoming freshmen. He’s one of only two three-star recruits in the class, and as a tight end, he plays a position that doesn’t always get a lot of glory at Ohio State.
Effective tight end play is still an important component of Ohio State’s offense, though, and it’s a position where the Buckeyes are set to have less returning experience than any other position in 2022.
