There are a number of reasons why a high school football recruit would want to come to Ohio State. It’s one of the top football programs in the nation, the facilities are never finished improving, there is a family atmosphere with the coaching staff, the academics and connections will outlast football, and it’s one of the few places that has gotten very, very good at getting…
Things went so well for Ohio State on the recruiting trail at receiver this past year that there are rumors they even had to tell one 5-star pass catcher who wanted to come aboard that the ship was full. Of the seven highest-rated signees for the Buckeyes in their 2020 recruiting class, four of them were receivers. Julian Fleming, the 5-star receiver who played less than…
It’s not often that Ohio State goes into the Pacific Northwest for a recruit as they did with 4-star receiver Gee Scott from Eastside Catholic High School in Sammamish, Washington this past year. Scott, the No. 10 receiver in the nation and the No. 65 player overall, was also ranked the No. 2 player in his state. When he signed with the Buckeyes…
Winter workouts are the first chapter of any college football season. It is also where new leaders begin to emerge. At Ohio State, new leaders are needed in the receivers room, but according to the newly arrived freshmen pass catchers, there have been plenty to lean upon. Ohio State signed four receivers in the 2020 class. Julian Fleming, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Gee Scott…
One of Ohio State’s biggest question marks surrounding the team entering the 2020 season is who will replace the talent lost in the wide receiver room. The Buckeyes have a number of star receivers coming in from the new recruiting class, but ‘Zone 6’ only returns two major contributors from the rotation last season in rising junior Chris Olave and rising sophomore Garrett Wilson.
Binjimen Victor came to Ohio State from Coconut Creek High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where he was ranked the No. 12 wide receiver in the 2016 class and the No. 97 player overall. There was a possibility of redshirting as a true freshman, but the Buckeyes needed receivers and so Victor played sparingly. He finished with just four catches in 2016. It was over his final…
Ohio State signed four of the nation’s top 15 receivers this past recruiting cycle. In fact, four of the top six signees for the Buckeyes last month were wide receivers. The haul has helped make Ohio State receivers coach Brian Hartline the top-ranked recruiter in 247Sports’ recruiter rankings. Hartline himself bristles at the label of recruiter, as he places his focus…
Gee Scott, Jr., a wide receiver from Sammamish, Washington, is now officially a Buckeye. He’s a top-100 overall player in the nation and part of an absolutely ludicrous haul for the Buckeyes at the wide receiver position.
The Opening Finals are now over and following the festivities, the organizers put together an annual “Dream Team” of the best players at each position. Essentially, they put together an actual offense and defense of the best performers in the 7-on-7 games and in one-on-ones. On this year’s Dream Team, there were three receivers selected…
When 5-star wide receiver Julian Fleming committed to Ohio State last Friday, he gave the Buckeyes three wide receivers committed already in the 2020 recruiting class. Fleming, the No. 1 receiver in the nation, joined Gee Scott and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, giving OSU an elite class of pass catchers before the calendar even flipped to June.
