Over the past few seasons, Ohio State has gained recognition for producing top-tier wide receivers, evidenced by the selections of Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Marvin Harrison Jr as first-round picks in recent drafts. However, there’s buzz that a true freshman could surpass them all.
Emeka Egbuka Shocked Many By His Return
Senior wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, who had the potential to be drafted in the second or even first round of this year’s NFL Draft, made the decision to return to school. His aim is to lead a young group of Buckeye receivers. Egbuka is poised to be one of the standout receivers nationwide this season, positioning himself as a top prospect for next year’s draft. Yet, there’s speculation that another receiver on Ohio State’s current roster might outshine him, despite not having played a single snap in college yet.

Having played alongside Marvin Harrison Jr for the past few seasons, Egbuka has a keen eye for exceptional wide receiver talent. It’s speculated that Smith, who was the top player in his 2024 class and joined Ohio State early, might even surpass Egbuka.
Ohio State Will Get A Star In Smith
Smith’s participation in spring practices and the spring game this year has already garnered significant attention. With his impressive performance in his initial practices with the team, Smith is poised to be a key player for the 2024 Buckeyes.
