Ohio State Returns Experienced Group of Wide Receivers, Unproven Group of Tight Ends

As the start of spring football at Ohio State approaches at March 6, we here at Eleven Warriors are taking a position-by-position look at the competitions to come when practices begin in less than two weeks.

While much of the attention surrounding Ohio State’s spring practices will be focused on the quarterback competition, which we previewed in the first installment of our Spring Preview, the potential of the Buckeyes’ passing offense for 2018 also depends on whether their wide receivers can continue to improve and whether playmakers can emerge at tight end.

Ohio State enters this spring with one of the most experienced and deepest groups of wide receivers in the country, but continued development and building rapport with each of Ohio State’s potential new starting quarterbacks will be key to whether they can turn that experience and depth into elite performance.
