Garrett Wilson’s Move to the Slot Could Be Permanent Following Breakout Performance in Season Opener

On Ohio State’s first offensive play of Saturday’s season opener, Garrett Wilson lined up at the outside receiver spot that he was accustomed to playing during a true freshman season in which he posted 30 catches for 432 yards and five touchdowns.

But on the offense’s second play, Wilson is now moved over into the slot position, and we instantly get to see one of the most dynamic, intriguing weapons in action on an offense full of them.

At the snap, Wilson seems to glide out of his stance, easily sneaking and slithering his way past a pair of Nebraska defenders and crossing over another with a quick cut inside, finding himself wide open 15 yards downfield.
