Will this be the year that Demario McCall finally plays a significant role in Ohio State’s offense?
Ranked as the No. 44 overall prospect in the recruiting class of 2016, McCall was expected to have already emerged as a playmaker for Ohio State’s offense well before now. An explosive athlete with an outgoing personality, McCall has been hyped as a potential breakout player for the Buckeyes for the past three years.
That hasn’t happened yet. After he carried the ball 49 times for 270 yards and three touchdowns and caught four passes for 84 yards and a touchdown as a true freshman, McCall has had just 22 rushing attempts for 161 yards and a touchdown and nine catches for 161 yards and a touchdown over the past two seasons.
