TE: JAKE HAUSMANN

Unlike most of the players on this list, Hausmann actually saw fairly regular playing time last season – he played in all but one of the Buckeyes’ 14 games – but his 235 total snaps in 2019 came quietly, as he caught just two passes for 13 yards with one touchdown.

While Hausmann arrived at Ohio State as one of the nation’s top tight end recruits, his first four years with the Buckeyes have been forgettable, and he goes into his fifth-year senior season behind Luke Farrell and Jeremy Ruckert on the depth chart. That said, he should be in line for at least as much playing time as he had last year – offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Kevin Wilson likes deploying two-tight end sets – and though his upside as a pass-catcher in Ohio State’s offense is limited at this point, he’ll have the chance to earn at least semi-regular playing time this year and make an impact as a blocker.

JAKE HAUSMANN, TIGHT END


  • Hausmann said he's always believed he had the ability to make an impact for Ohio State, it's just “a matter of putting it all together.”
  • Hausmann said Fields has blossomed as a vocal leader over the past six months, and everyone has been following his lead.
  • On Cade Stover: “He's doing great. He's a super-athletic guy. He can go up and get the ball. ... He's as athletic as any tight end can be. He's as physical and strong as you need him to be. ... I think he's been doing a great job so far.”
  • Will this be the best offense Ohio State has had since Hausmann, a fifth-year senior, has been here? “It has the potential to be.”
  • On Trey Sermon: “I don't think he really skipped a beat when he came over here.” Said Sermon has done a great job in practice.
  • “We have an offensive line that just loves mauling people. It's awesome seeing them work.” He doesn't think the running game will skip a beat with Sermon and Teague.
