Ohio State is loaded with talent once again this season, but much of it is unproven.

The Buckeyes signed their two highest-rated recruiting classes of the modern era in 2017 and 2018, and with those players entering their second and third seasons respectively, it’s their time to make an impact – in many cases, for the first time.

Here are 10 players who will be stepping into larger roles with the team and seem poised for breakout seasons in 2019.



JEREMY RUCKERT – TIGHT END – SOPHOMORE
Ohio State does not typically utilize the tight end much in the passing game, but the Buckeyes also haven't often had a pass-catching talent like Jeremy Ruckert, and they seem intent on getting the tight end more involved in the offense this year.

In the spring, Ohio State experimented with two-tight end sets and playing Ruckert at receiver – specifically, the H-back position – and even began telling top tight end prospects to watch how they'll be used in the passing attack this season. If they really are more involved, Ruckert could be on the verge of a big season.

Jeremy is looking every bit as good as the 5* recruit that he was coming in, he's really been a nice asset in the passing game. We are definitely trying to utilize him this season and the only reason he is still in single digit catches (albeit he has 9 catches and 3 have been TDs) is because of all the other weapons we have on offense. I think Jeremy is in for a very good career here.

I hope so. Most teams don't have the talent to cover a TE or the current set of WRs...now put them together with RBs that will run all over you and QB that just need to connect on some of those deep balls and DCs may quit mid-game.

That would be a nice complement to the defense that is already making QBs quit mid-play.
