The hometown of Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett — Wichita Falls, Texas — is a city located in the northern part of the state, roughly 15 miles from the Oklahoma border.
Its population of just over 104,000 would fit comfortably inside Ohio Stadium.
Roughly 2.5 hours southeast, just outside of Dallas, sits the town of DeSoto, Texas. It’s about half the size of Wichita Falls, and it’s also the hometown of Buckeyes’ wide receiver/running back Dontre Wilson.
Both Barrett and Wilson traveled over 1,000 miles from their hometowns to play college football here in Columbus, Ohio.
