In the Big Ten, the [autotag]Ohio State Buckeyes[/autotag] are the gold standard when it comes to producing NFL talent at the wide receiver position.
This year’s group is led by Marvin Harrison Jr, who showed off his athleticism with a myriad of highlight-reel catches. His presence in the College Football Playoff semifinal against Georgia shows just how far advanced he is compared to his peers. Had it not been for an injury in the game, the Buckeyes might have pulled off an epic upset victory.
Over the years they have put Devin Smith, Michael Thomas, Parris Campbell, Terry McLaurin, Garrett Wilson, Christ Olave, and most recently Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the NFL. It is no secret that this year’s group of Harrison and Emeka Egbuka are likely to be added to the list. They also have a stable of young receivers ready to step up as well.
In the Big Ten, it isn’t only about the Buckeyes as the [autotag]Wisconsin Badgers[/autotag], [autotag]Maryland Terrapins[/autotag], and [autotag]Minnesota Golden Gophers[/autotag] also have some standout pass catchers of their own.
