Jaxon Smith-Njigba Will Look For A Sophomore Surge Much Like Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson in Previous Years

Chris Olave did it in 2019. Garrett Wilson followed suit in 2020.

In the nation's most loaded wide receiver room, it's going to be difficult for some five-star caliber players to see the field. Brian Hartline has an absurd amount of weapons at his disposal as the Buckeyes have added three more talented wideouts to a room that was already the deepest in the country. The unexpected return of Chris Olave is great news for Ohio State's next quarterback, but it also presents even more of a challenge for the young wideouts.

A more normal offseason and a full slate of games will give the receivers more of a chance to show what they can do.
