Okay, here we go. The season is over, and already the competition begins for next year’s depth chart. We will of course go through this exercise multiple times in the off-season, but it’s fun to look at where things might stand as we move on under Ryan Day.
Here’s a very, very early look at Ohio State’s roster, and who might be penciled in with the two-deep as the new year turns. Disclaimer — it’ll change multiple times as we go through the process of getting a new team ready for competition in the spring and ultimately the fall.
Quarterback
1. Justin Fields**
2. Gunnar hoak
Of course Fields has things locked down, the real question will be who his backup is. Gunnar Hoak has one more year and knows the offense, but watch out for four-star commits C.J. Stroud and Jack Miller who will both be deep in the competition.
Running Back
1. Master Teague
2. marcus crowley
Dobbins is off to the NFL with one of the best single-seasons in Ohio State history. The big and strong Teague got the majority of the reps as the clear No. 2 this year and looks primed to be the guy in 2020. Crowley struggled with injuries last season but has the talent to be a part of things. Steele Chambers will also factor in.
