It's no secret that last year's freshman class was one of the (if not the) most talented in Ohio State football history.
With the likes of running back J.K. Dobbins, offensive tackle Thayer Munford and defensive end Chase Young — plus multiple others — leading the charge, the Buckeyes are reaping the benefits of drinking from the proverbial fountain of youth.
The only downside for the group was that it inherited an exceptionally veteran-laden roster, meaning many position groups on the depth chart already boasted of bona fide starters from Day 1.
This year's freshman class — which was rated as the second-most talented ever, even though that has yet to be seen on the field — could have more opportunities to see the field.
