Watch: Sean Ryan gets first touchdown as Rutgers takes an early lead at No. 3 Ohio State

Rutgers football got on the board first with a touchdown catch from Sean Ryan.

Sean Ryan got his Rutgers football touchdown, and he did so in one of the biggest settings in college football.

Ryan hauled in a 14-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Evan Simon early in the first quarter to give Rutgers a 7-0 lead at No. 3 Ohio State. The touchdown catch came after Ryan did a nice job of fighting off Denzel Burke, who had good coverage on the play.

It was a tightly thrown ball from Simon, putting it where only Ryan could catch it.

A transfer from West Virginia, Ryan is a big possession wide receiver who adds some much-needed size and strength to the Rutgers wide receiver room.
