Jayden Ballard Has Top Wide Receiver Potential With His Long Speed, Jump Ball Skills, and Contested Catch Ability

Last summer Jayden Ballard was Ohio State's third commitment in the 2021 class behind only five-star Jack Sawyer and Kyle McCord.

Fast forward to today, Ballard, a four-star wide receiver, seems to be a forgotten man in the Ohio State's top-ranked class. Whether it is because he isn't much of a talker or because he committed to the Buckeyes almost a year ago, one thing is for sure, Ballard should have more buzz.

Ballard is a fairly reserved and quiet person off the field, but when he steps in between the lines on Friday nights, Ballard's play is anything but quiet.
