No. 3 – Which of the incoming freshmen phenom wide-receivers will contribute?
Ohio State just signed the best group of wide receivers I've even seen in an individual recruiting class, so Brian Hartline is up there taking a much-deserved victory lap.

Ohio State has arguably the best wide-receiver class it has ever welcomed to Columbus coming in to compete. It’s a good thing too, because for the second straight year, the Buckeyes lose three of the six receivers in the two-deep. Gone are all-time receptions leader in program history K.J. Hill, along with Binjimen Victor and Austin Mack.
Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave will be stars, but there’s still room for some major contributors to come from the likes of four of the top fifteen at their position according to 247Sports. Julian Fleming (1), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (5), Gee Scott Jr (12), and/or Mookie Cooper (15) are going to get some opportunities to catch passes from Justin Fields.
