Eight Ohio State Veterans Who Need to Make the Leap to Greatness This Year

If Ohio State’s going to contend for a national championship again in 2021, it’s going to need some new stars to emerge.

The Buckeyes already have a handful of established stars on offense in wide receivers Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson, tight end Jeremy Ruckert and offensive tackles Thayer Munford and Nicholas Petit-Frere. Defensively, they return an All-American defensive tackle in Haskell Garrett but don’t have anyone else who can be considered a star at this point.

New stars could emerge from a variety of areas on the roster. There are plenty of talented young Buckeyes in their first or second year who will be looking to prove this spring that they can make an impact this season.
