One tight end played more than 60 percent of Ohio State’s total snaps at the position in 2021. It’s unlikely any Ohio State tight end will play nearly that large a share of the snaps in 2022.
Last season, Jeremy Ruckert played 713 snaps at tight end while the rest of Ohio State’s tight ends played just 460 offensive snaps combined. With Ruckert now on his way to the NFL, though, Ohio State could look to divide playing time more evenly among three or four tight ends this season rather than having a clear-cut No. 1 player at the position.
