The wide receivers are now a vital strength for the Ohio State football team. In fact, Ohio State is fast becoming known as a wide receiver university. Brian Hartline is doing a great job of recruiting. As a result, this team’s wide receiving squad is talented and deep. Let’s review the starters and reserves this year, along with some of the historically great receivers who’ve played football for Ohio State.
Star Wide Receivers at Ohio State Now
The starters at wide receiver for Ohio State are Emeka Ebuka, Cornell Tate, and Jerimiah Smith. This article will review each because these are stars who will play in the National Football League. Each will get their due.
Emeka Ebuka
Emeka Ebuka is a senior receiver who’s one of the best wide receivers in the nation. There is no question that quarterback Will Howard and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly have a great weapon in Ebuka. Emeka has 133 catches in his career, and counting. He has 14 touchdowns too. He has caught a pass in every game he’s played for Ohio State since he was a freshman. On top of it all, he’s a team leader.
Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate is a sophomore receiver for Ohio State. He’s a somewhat unheralded starter, though the fact that he is starting as a sophomore bodes well for him. He already has 25 catches and two TDs. His 14.4-yard receiving average means he stretches the field, which is a dimension every team needs.
Jeremiah Smith
Jeremiah Smith is a fantastic freshman receiver for Ohio State. After just two games, he has 11 catches and three touchdowns to go with 211 receiving yards. There’s already talk of him winning the Heisman Trophy this year. Only a freshman, he will play wide receiver for the Buckeyes for at least three seasons. He will probably win the Heisman Trophy before he leaves Ohio State (if not this year).
History’s Best Wide Receivers at Ohio State
Ohio State has had many great wide receivers who are now playing or have played professionally. I would highlight Marvin Harrision Jr. who was the fourth pick by the Arizona Cardinals in the spring draft. Also worth knowing is Michael Thomas, who played for a long time for the New Orleans Saints. In fact, there have been dozens of Ohio State wide receivers who’ve played professionally in the National Football League. There really are too many to mention.
The Rest of Ohio State’s Wide Receiver Roster
You will come to know these other names, and that’s why they’re included in this article. Watch for these backups at receiver for Ohio State in upcoming games (in alphabetical order): David Adolph, Kojo Antwi, Jayden Ballard (he’s probably receiver number four at Ohio State), Nolan Baudo, Mylan Graham, Brandon Iness (who returns punts for Ohio State this season), Shawn Lodge, Joop Mitchell, Bryson Rogers, Brennen Schramm, Reis Stockdale, Dorian Williams, and Domarian Whitten.
Conclusion
Ohio State has a deep and skillful group of wide receivers. It’s a great strength for the Buckeye team. The receiving corps at Ohio State may be as talented and as deep as any in the country.
