Brian Hartline is staying at Ohio State, and he's being rewarded with a new title.
Ohio State announced Sunday that it has promoted Hartline to passing game coordinator. He will continue to be the Buckeyes’ wide receivers coach.
The promotion comes after a spectacular season for Hartline’s unit in which Jaxon Smith-Njigba broke Ohio State’s single-season records for receptions (95) and receiving yards (1,606) while Garrett Wilson (70 receptions for 1,058 yards and 12 touchdowns) and Chris Olave (65 receptions for 936 yards and 13 touchdowns) also had spectacular seasons, forming the best trio of receivers in school history.
