Jeremy Ruckert's Return Gives Ohio State an Exceptional Target if It Wants to More Prominently Feature the Tight End in the Passing Game

Is this THE year?

No this probably isn't the year the collective tight end position goes ham within Ohio State's passing attack simply based on history and the roster's overall lack of proven depth but there's reason to believe the star at the position, Jeremy Ruckert, has a chance to put up a top-10 single-season by a tight end in school history.

Ruckert, a Lindenhurst, New Jersey native, surprised many when he opted to return for another season in Columbus which, in theory, would suggest he could see a few more balls thrown in his direction this fall.
