Marvin Harrison Jr., Emeka Egbuka Making a Case For Early Playing Time Despite Loaded Wide Receiver Room

Ohio State's heralded group of 2020 wideouts didn't get to play in a spring game during their first year in Columbus.

After Ohio State's 2020 recruiting class was officially signed, there were plenty of eyes on Brian Hartline's room. Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson had already established themselves, and four of the country's best at the position arrived in January to compete for early playing time. The pandemic ultimately meant that Julian Fleming, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Gee Scott Jr., and Mookie Cooper were unable to display their talents during any sort of spring game.

Hartline's latest haul included three wideouts that arrived on campus just three months ago.
