What we say
I agree that Zach Harrison should be that next guy to show up in a big way as the next great edge rusher at Ohio State. He’s got all the measurables and skill sets as one of the most highly recruited players in the 2019 class. Add that to the loss of Chase Young, and he should get a lot more reps and opportunity to show what he can do. He’s quick, strong, rangy, and extremely athletic. and with arguably the best D-line coach in the college game, Larry Johnson, teaching him, the sky is the limit.
When it comes to Garrett Wilson, there’s no denying the kid’s talent, but he’s got a bevy of talented wide-receivers to compete with. He’ll have his moments and spots no doubt, but I’m not sure you’re going to see a big-time jump in what we saw last season. His numbers will be better for sure, just because there are less seasoned players in front of him, but you have to believe Chris Olave will be the main target, with freshmen like Julian Fleming, Jaxon Smith-Ngjiba, and Gee Scott getting in the mix there somewhere too. Does the coaching staff utilize them all, or give the more experienced guy more reps. That remains to be seen.
