Folks, I’m going out on a limb this week. And maybe patting myself on the back just a little bit. Tight ends don’t traditionally get a lot of hype and/or coverage, especially in college football. Buckeye fans love Jeremy Ruckert, but I think that we all feel like he is going to be a bigger weapon at the next level than he is for the Buckeyes.
Ohio State does not often target Ruckert, let alone any of their tight ends for the last handful of years, despite the talent they bring to the table. Fortunately for us, these guys work hard to become great blockers, and that still becomes a feather in their cap(s) come NFL Draft time.
