Brian Hartline Leads the Way Toward a Leadership Standard at Wide Receiver

In his first two years as Ohio State's wide receivers coach, Brian Hartline has had five captains in his position group.

There’s a new standard being set within the Ohio State wide receivers room. After two receivers – K.J. Hill and C.J. Saunders – were named team captains Monday, it became clear that Ohio State wide receivers are beginning to take the lead in shaping what modern leadership on a Buckeye team looks like.

It started with former Ohio State receivers Terry McLaurin and Parris Campbell, who were both named team captains in 2017, following a year in 2016 when there weren’t any wide receiver representatives.
