The Potential First-Year Starters Who Could Play the Biggest Roles for Ohio State in 2023

You won’t find an Ohio State football season in which every starter returned from the previous year. The forthcoming campaign is no different.

That’s not to say the Buckeyes don’t have things covered in several position groups. Their starting linebackers from 2022 returned to the fold for another year. Ohio State’s entire year-end starting receiving corps is back, as is every rusher that carried the ball at least 10 times. Tight end is set with the return of Cade Stover, both starting offensive guards are still in the program and there’s plenty of experienced depth at all levels on defense.
