A trio of wide receivers who’d caught 357 passes for 4,722 yards and 44 touchdowns across 13 combined seasons ended their Ohio State careers in December with a loss to Clemson, and yet nobody has sounded any alarms.
Why? Just look around.
The Buckeyes don’t have a boatload of experience at wideout. None of Brian Hartline’s receivers are seniors, and the only two redshirt juniors – Jaylen Harris and Ellijah Gardiner – have combined for six career catches and barely topped 100 collective snaps in 2019. Their four freshmen outnumber the three upperclassmen at the position.
But as far as natural ability?
