In 2-deep: Projecting Ohio State’s depth chart on offense
As far as the No. 2 QB, I think it will be McCord, but I also believe Brown will really push him for the spot. Same deal at running back with Williams and Pryor, and I say that as someone who is very high on Williams’ game and feels that he complements Henderson perfectly in the backfield.
At wide receiver, the positions are really irrelevant as Brian Hartline just told us on Friday that guys will be moving around a lot. For example, Smith-Njigba will play some on the outside and some in the slot. Same deal for Egbuka. Furthermore, a guy like Grayes is going to play mostly on the outside, but I know the coaches like him so I wanted to include him in the projected two-deep somewhere because I think he will barely crack the top-6 of the wideout group. I don’t think he will play much except when the game is no longer on the line, but I certainly don’t think he’ll redshirt.
Tight end is interesting. Depth appeared to be an issue there entering spring, but now that room has plenty of solid depth. It’s going to be an interesting battle during camp to see who wins the top three spots, because the top-three TEs on the Buckeyes’ depth chart usually get a lot of playing time each season.
It is very easy to see why Ryan Day is concerned about depth on the offensive line. Getting Fryar back will help though, and hopefully for the Buckeyes some other guys like Vimahi step up if needed. Tshabola hasn’t even enrolled yet, but he was the No. 10 OT and the No. 104 overall recruit in the country in the 2022 class, so it will be intriguing to see if he can crack the two-deep as a true freshman and help with the depth situation.
