It may have taken him a bit to get cooking this year, but freshman wide-receiver Garrett Wilson has begun to live up to the hype, especially since he came into a program with a deep receiving corp already in place.
Many fans thought that he would be the next Ted Ginn, Jr. or Santonio Holmes, and it’s still possible considering next year he might be featured along with Christ Olave. But just how big of an impact has he this year as a true freshman, let’s dive into the stats?
To date, Wilson is fourth on the team in total receiving yards with 385 yards. combine that with five touchdowns and the team responsibility of being the team’s punt returner, and one could say this has been a solid freshman season.

Wilson seems to be making similar strides as what Chris Olave did with his breakout game against That Team Up North. With a College Football Playoff Semifinal matchup coming in the Fiesta Bowl against Clemson, Ohio Sate might be hoping to hear his name called even more.
