Ohio State fully intends to rotate its wide receivers again in 2017.
This isn’t a new idea, of course, as it’s something the Buckeyes employed the last few seasons.
“Yeah, that’s kind of what we want it to be,” wide receivers coach Zach Smith said this spring. “Two at every position and then we can just roll them. Unless there is a deficiency somewhere then we’re going to play six. That’s what we always want to do.”
Figuring out who the six will be, though, is where the challenge comes from.
Ohio State does not have a lot of returning production at the wide receiver position.
