Players from the Heralded 2018 Recruiting Class Who Need to Step Up For Ohio State Next Fall

When Ryan Day took over for Urban Meyer after Ohio State's Rose Bowl win against Washington, he inherited one of the most loaded rosters in college football. The defense was stacked with first-round NFL talent along the line and secondary while the offense boasted a bevy of weapons.

The Buckeyes' head coach faces a more challenging offseason in 2020. Ohio State is losing seven starters on defense, headlined by consensus first-team All Americans Chase Young and Jeff Okudah. The offense is losing a ton if its firepower as well with the departure of record-setting running back J.K. Dobbins and three of its top five wideouts.
