Ohio State is losing 167 receptions, 2,433 yards, and 31 touchdowns from the trio of Parris Campbell, Terry McLaurin, and Johnnie Dixon. And that’s just what they did last year. Still on campus and working out every day at OSU, McLaurin and Dixon sat down with receivers coach Brian Hartline recently and went over a couple of their…
Former Buckeye football players preparing for the NFL Draft went through the 2019 Ohio State football Pro Day workout on Wednesday. All 32 NFL teams had a representative at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center to watch the action.
COLUMBUS — The Buckeyes held their Pro Day on Wednesday, which featured quarterback Dwayne Haskins throwing to receivers Johnnie Dixon, Parris Campbell, and Terry McLaurin, as well as running back Mike Weber.

COLUMBUS — Ohio State held its annual Pro Day on Wednesday, featuring a dozen or so Buckeyes performing in front of every team in the NFL.

Saturday was “Ohio State Day” at the NFL Combine. Not officially, mind you, but essentially. Quarterback Dwayne Haskins worked out, as did receivers Parris Campbell, Terry McLaurin, and Johnnie Dixon.

Last season, Terry McLaurin and Johnnie Dixon combined to procure 77 receptions for 1,370 yards and 19 touchdowns. For the first eight games, they were splitting reps at the Z receiver spot. Once Austin Mack was lost due to injury at the X, McLaurin moved over and shared reps with Binjimen Victor. As the No. 1 Z receiver down the…
Ohio State wide receiver Johnnie Dixon caught 67 passes in his Buckeye career, but those catches don’t tell much of his story. His 16 career touchdown catches are as many as OSU all-time receiving yardage leader Michael Jenkins finished with, one more than Ted Ginn, and four more than his receivers coach, Brian Hartline.

In the immediate on-field aftermath of Ohio State’s 62-39 win over Michigan, emotions ran high for the Buckeyes and their coaches. Urban Meyer could be seen embracing his wife Shelley as the two shared a moment which seemed to foreshadow his eventual retirement. Meyer also found receivers Johnnie Dixon, Terry McLaurin, and…
Some Buckeyes had an inkling that change was coming, but most had no idea that Urban Meyer was going to be announcing his retirement. They had seen the stress that this past year had put on their head coach, as well as the headaches that he was suffering, but when Meyer called an early-morning team meeting last…
