When Ohio State entered the 2017 season, it was tough to determine who might emerge as the Buckeyes' go-to wide receiver.

A year after the Scarlet and Gray lost both Curtis Samuel and Noah Brown to the NFL, there were plenty of receptions to go around, but not many proven names in Zach Smith's receiver room. After the dust settled, it was K.J. Hill who finished the 2017 campaign with the most receptions for the Buckeyes.

Hill finished his redshirt sophomore season with 55 receptions for 546 yards and three scores and was the only true wide receiver to catch a pass in every game Ohio State played this season (Marcus Baugh also caught at least one pass in each game).
