As is usually the case going into an Ohio State football season, there are plenty of Buckeyes receiving plenty of attention – both locally and nationally – as potential stars for the upcoming season.
Defensive end Nick Bosa is being touted as a potential No. 1 overall pick in next year’s NFL draft, while running back J.K. Dobbins is considered to be a potential Heisman Trophy candidate. Dwayne Haskins is expected to be Ohio State’s next star quarterback, while Dre’Mont Jones and Jordan Fuller are among the Buckeyes’ projected stars on defense. Kendall Sheffield and Parris Campbell have received national attention for their freakish physical traits, while Chase Young, Baron Browning and Jeffrey Okudah are among the five-star recruits being hyped as potential breakout stars even though they’ve barely played.
