Great Expectations: True Freshman Wide Receiver Austin Mack Already Turning Heads in Columbus

As a high school senior, Austin Mack's public commitment to Ohio State may have taken more time than some expected. Since arriving in Columbus in January, it hasn't taken much time at all for him to make his presence felt at wide receiver.

The departures of Michael Thomas, Jalin Marshall and Braxton Miller have left some serious holes on offense. The trio combined for 117 receptions, over 1,500 yards and 17 scores last season. Players like Johnnie Dixon, Corey Smith, Dontre Wilson and a healthy Noah Brown will all look to help fill the void at wideout.

Austin Mack arrived in January after successful career at Fort Wayne's Bishop Luers High School.
