Ranking Ohio State wide receivers by 247Sports composite recruiting rankings
The Ohio State football program has 13 wide receivers on scholarship and appears super deep. Still, as any Buckeye fan knows, this unit took a massive hit last season with the injury to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but the youngsters stepped up in a big way.
It was a bit shocking to see Xavier Johnson return, not that he was an early-round lock for the NFL, but he will undoubtedly get a shot at the next level. There is also a ton of excitement surrounding the stud freshman arriving on campus.
We rank the scholarship wide receivers on the roster based on their 247Sports recruiting rankings. You might be surprised by some of these …
