As we get closer and closer to what we hope will be an on-time start to the 2020 Ohio State football season, we continue to see preview pieces hit from preseason rankings, to award hopefuls, and more.
ESPN is no different and continues to publish looks at various angles of the college football season, mainly focusing on its preseason top 25 teams. The latest is an effort to identify each top 25 team’s most unheralded star, and for the Buckeyes, Tom VanHaaren has singled out rising junior wide receiver Chris Olave.
Olave led Ohio State last season in receiving yards (849) and touchdowns caught (12), continuing to separate himself as a big-time playmaker that can stretch the field. There’s a ton of new, extremely talented blood coming into the program at the receiver position, but he should be the steady, smooth, dependable target Fields will continue to look for.
But enough about what we say, what does ESPN say about Olave?
