WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2020 AND BEYOND FROM OHIO STATE'S 10 FRESHMEN WHO REDSHIRTED LAST SEASON TE CORMONTAE HAMILTON
2019 in review: Due to an ankle injury, Hamilton was out for four weeks across the end of fall camp and beginning of the season. He did not play any snaps as a freshman.
A look toward 2020: Since Hamilton didn’t play at all in 2019, it’s difficult to know exactly how he’ll factor in to the offense as a redshirt freshman. Ohio State still has Luke Farrell, Jeremy Ruckert and Jake Hausmann ahead of him on the depth chart, too, which might minimize his opportunities. Interestingly, though, Hamilton has the size of a fullback rather than a tight end (6-foot-2, 263 pounds), which could allow Kevin Wilson to get creative with him in certain packages.
Long-term outlook: Because Hamilton is physically so different from his contemporaries at tight end, it’s unclear how Wilson and Ryan Day will deploy him in the coming years. That uniqueness could give him an edge in certain scenarios. Nobody else on the roster has Hamilton’s particular body type, and the Buckeyes haven’t targeted any recruits similar to him. There’s as much mystery surrounding his future role as any other rising second-year player.
