Quarterback
Dwayne Haskins (2018)
Boy, this was a tough one. We had to choose between the likes of Terrelle Pryor, Braxton Miller, J.T. Barrett, Dwayne Haskins, and Justin Fields. While any program would take their chances with any of them, how can you ignore what Haskins did by having the greatest single-season any quarterback in Ohio State history had. We go with Haskins by a thin, thin margin on this one. Heck, Fields might end up being the best of them all once he gets one more season this decade.
Running Back
Ezekiel Elliott (2013-2015)
Another close call here between Zeke and J.K. Dobbins. If it were twenty years ago, we could go with a two-back set and take them both, but we’re sticking with the one-back formation of the times. Both guys are extremely talented, but Elliott had just a little bit more big-play ability and explosiveness. He gets another slight nod here.
Wide Receiver
Devin Smith (2011-2014)
K.J. Hill (2015-2019)
Parris Campbell (2015-2018)
Okay, the good news is we get three guys here. The bad news is we have to cull it down to just three. Also, we’re only taking into account what these guys did in college, not at the next level. Otherwise, Michael Thomas would be a shoo-in. So, we’ll go with the speedster Devin Smith to stretch the field, Parris Campbell to play in the slot, and the program’s all-time leader in receptions, K.J. Hill. Not a bad unit at all.
