What Middlehurst-Schwartz Says

“It’s hard to choose between the Buckeyes’ pair of star wide receivers, so why not include each one? Olave surprised many by returning for his senior season after consistently beating defenses deep. Wilson, however, is one of college football’s most explosive players and flashy pass catchers.”

Sounds great to us. If Ohio State does indeed have this many players that high on NFL draft boards next April, we’re guessing the football team in Columbus is going to have a pretty special season. This is before we even talk about guys like Tyreke Smith and Haskell Garrett who both also have the ability to maybe jump up in that first-round projection.

Stay tuned.
