Among Ohio State’s new starters on the offensive side of the ball, no one is set to play a more significant role than Branden Bowen.
While the Buckeyes also have new starters at wide receiver, it remains unclear exactly who those starters will be – thanks to the "OR" designations on Ohio State’s depth chart – and it’s likely the top six receivers will all rotate in and out of the lineup, at least at the beginning of the year.
Bowen, on the other hand, is in line to play just about all of Ohio State’s meaningful offensive snaps this season – barring injury or poor play – as he has been named the Buckeyes’ outright starter at right guard.
