Wide receiver might be one of Ohio State’s biggest positions of uncertainty going into the 2020 season, but that’s not due to any lack of talent.
Ohio State returns only two receivers from its core rotation in 2019, Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson, yet its receiver room is as loaded with talent as it’s ever been. Of the 11 scholarship receivers on Ohio State’s roster for 2020, eight of them were top-100-ranked receivers in their respective recruiting classes – and that doesn’t include Olave, the Buckeyes’ leading receiver from last season.
It’s unquestioned that Olave, who caught 49 passes for 849 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2019, is positioned to be the leader of Ohio State’s receiving corps in 2020.
