Ohio State needed reinforcements at the receiver position this offseason, and the Buckeyes got just that with the three freshmen they signed in the 2017 class.

Zone-6 added four-star receivers Trevon Grimes and Jaylen Harris as well as three-star Elijah Gardiner to bolster the unit after the departures of Curtis Samuel, Noah Brown and Dontre Wilson – the team's three most productive receivers in 2016.

It's no doubt a talented group of young receivers, but it will take more than talent for them to see the field in a meaningful way in 2017.

“You better be able to make plays, or you shouldn’t be here," receivers coach Zach Smith said.
