Ohio State enters the 2024 season with one of the most loaded rosters in the country, with weapons and talent everywhere. Expectations are sky high across the country for the Buckeyes, who are ranked No. 2 in the first edition of the Associated Press poll. They made a number of impressive additions in the offseason, the biggest of which is the top-tier safety Caleb DownsHe was the highest-ranked player in the transfer portal after signing as a rookie for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
On offense, Ohio State once again has one of the most impressive talent collections in the country at the skill positions. Wide Receiver Emeka Egbuka is one of the best in the country. Last year he caught 41 balls for 515 yards and four touchdowns for the Buckeyes. In 2022, Egbuka caught 74 balls for 1,151 yards and 10 touchdowns. He is expected to be the best receiver for quarterback Will HowardWHO moved from Kansas State to Ohio State in the offseason.
Howard threw for over 2,600 yards with 24 touchdowns and 10 interceptions for KSU last year. As a runner, he had over 350 rushing yards in two different seasons for KSU.
There is also a very talented freshman receiver, Jeremiah Smithwho has attracted a lot of national media attention since his high school days. He is expected to make a big splash for the Buckeyes in his freshman year. He will be exciting to watch. Smith was drafted by the On3 Industry Rankings. Ever since he set foot in Columbus this spring, there has been constant excitement surrounding his play.
Ohio State is also home to one of the nation’s best running back duos in Ole Miss Transfer Quinshon Judkins And Treyveon Henderson. Judkins has rushed for over 2,600 yards and 31 touchdowns over the past two seasons for the Ole Miss Rebels, establishing himself as one of the nation’s best players at his position. And if they want another option, the Buckeyes can turn to Treyveon Henderson, who has rushed for at least 900 yards in two of his three college football seasons.
That’s just a small taste of the talent on OSU’s roster. It’s easy to see why Vegas considers this game to be one of the biggest mismatches of the entire 2024 college football season.
