Garrett Wilson On the Verge of a More Complete 2021 Season After Dominating the First Half of 2020

Ryan Day must break in a new starting quarterback this fall with the departure of Justin Fields but the new signal-caller will be surrounded by weapons galore, most notably returning receivers Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson.

Olave led the Buckeyes with 50 catches for 729 yards and seven touchdowns despite missing a game due to Covid-19 protocols. The San Marcos, California product was largely unstoppable, posting over 100 yards receiving in five of his seven games including 132 and two touchdowns in Ohio State's 49-28 win over Clemson in a College Football Playoff semifinal.

With Olave doing the heavy lifting on the outside, then-sophomore Garrett Wilson shifted inside to the slot and enjoyed his own impressive season.
