Ohio State wide receiver Johnnie Dixon will return in 2018

Another bit of good news for Ohio State, as wide receiver Johnnie Dixon announced that he will be returning for the 2018 season. Dixon is the latest Buckeye to decide to forego this year’s NFL Draft—electing to come back and play for Ohio State instead. The others include Parris Campbell and Dre’Mont Jones.

Coach of Zone 6, Zach Smith, was noticeably excited to return two of his star players. Not only will the Buckeyes be deep at receiver, but whichever young quarterback wins the starting role in 2018, will have a bevy of experienced players surrounding him — a luxury Ohio State hasn’t had in a couple of seasons.
