Ranking Ohio State's Wide Receivers in the 21st Century

This may be the most challenging position to rank over the past 25 years. The most significant criterion isn’t individual stats or talent. It is team accomplishments, big game performances, the impact on the program and position after them, along with stats and talent. Still, there is so much that I almost want to do a top 25, rather than a top 10. This ridiculous success of Buckeye receivers is why Ohio State has the strongest case for being Wide Receiver U.

1. Devin Smith

Smith had 121 catches in his Ohio State career for 2,503 yards (fifth all-time in Buckeye history) and 30 touchdowns (fourth all-time).
