Following the departure of K.J. Hill, one of the biggest questions for Ohio State’s offense entering Monday’s opening practice of the spring was who would be first in line to replace Hill as the starting slot receiver.
On Monday, we got an intriguing and somewhat surprising potential answer: Garrett Wilson.
The second-year wideout, who rotated with Binjimen Victor at X receiver as a true freshman in 2019, was first in the order at slot receiver throughout Monday’s practice – which was open to reporters who cover Ohio State – and he looked good.
Wilson made plays throughout the opening practice of the spring while lining up in a new position, where Ryan Day confirmed after practice that the Buckeyes are looking at him as a potential option to replace K.
