Ohio State’s WR2 Has Been Among Best Wide Receivers in the Big Ten During the Ryan Day Era

Being Ohio State's second-best wide receiver is still one of the most productive players at the position in the Big Ten every year.

With Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate returning to the Buckeyes for the 2025 season amid reports of tampering, much has been made about how loaded the Buckeyes are at wide receiver, just as the position has been every year under Ryan Day. Brian Hartline is one of the best assistant coaches and recruiters in college football; he has already proven that and continues to do so time and time again.

Smith, who will arguably be the best player in college football entering next season, will be WR1 for the Buckeyes, and rightfully so.
