No. 2 – Garrett Wilson
What PFF says about Chris Olave
“Ohio State may no longer have Justin Fields, but the team does have the clear-cut best wide receiver duo in the country. That’ll surely ease the transition for (most likely) C.J. Stroud at quarterback. Like his teammate Olave, Wilson is one of the best route-runners in the game. He impressed against single coverage (sixth in PFF grade on such plays) and frequently found soft spots against zone while working from the slot. That led to a separation rate that ranked eighth-highest in college football this past season. The 2019 five-star recruit is bound to put up numbers in this offense once again in 2021.”
So, it’s pretty good to have two receivers appear on this listing, but to have the top two should hopefully bode well for Ohio State, its new quarterback, and the offense. And while it’s good news for the Buckeyes, it’s probably not for Michigan and others in the Big Ten.
