Ohio State Has Variety of Options Beyond K.J. Hill to Challenge Defenses at H-Back

With both K.J. Hill and Parris Campbell in the slot last year, Ohio State had a dangerous duo of H-backs with differing styles of play that complemented each other.

Hill ran the chains-moving routes and snagged just about every ball that came his way, and Campbell had the back-breaking speed that could change games in a single play. They often traded snaps the past two years.

But with Campbell now off to the NFL, Brian Hartline will have to fill the void left by the speedster. Considering Hill is the most productive returning receiver by a significant margin, the loss of Campbell could lead to a career-high amount of snaps for Hill.
