If you don’t follow Ohio State closely, you probably think the Buckeyes are primed to take a step back at wide receiver this season. They lost Parris Campbell, Terry McLaurin and Johnnie Dixon, who were three of their four most productive pass-catchers last season, who were all captains last season and who are all now on NFL rosters.
Within the Ohio State football program itself and its fan base, however, expectations for the Buckeyes’ 2019 receiving corps are as high as ever – and with good reason.
Campbell, McLaurin and Dixon will surely be missed this season, not only for their playmaking ability but especially for the leadership they brought to the Buckeyes.
