Unknowns At Wide Receiver For Ohio State Beyond Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson Make It Difficult To Guess The Third Starter

It’s easy to get carried away.

Talent, beginning with returning Heisman Trophy finalist Justin Fields taking snaps from second-team All-Big Ten honoree Josh Myers, litters Ohio State’s passing attack.

One of his top two returning wide receivers, Chris Olave, caught 12 passes last season. The other, Garrett Wilson, was a five-star recruit and the second-rated wideout in his class. Four top-100 overall prospects joined the program in January to add an influx of gifted pass-catchers. A collection of other four-star and five-star receivers are back to round out the room, too. The team’s two best tight ends – Luke Farrell and Jeremy Ruckert – both return, and they’ll play alongside what has a chance to be the nation’s best offensive line.
