Happy for Luke. He and Berry will be a good combo at TE. If Ruckert can contribute as well that is just icing on the cake.

LUKE FARRELL'S PERFORMANCE IN SPRING PRACTICE HAS HIM LEADING THE TIGHT END GROUP HEADING INTO THE SUMMER
Not very many position battles were decided this spring, and many competitions for spots in Ohio State's starting lineup figure to carry into fall camp.
At tight end however, there appears to be one player that has separated himself from the rest of the pack.
Redshirt sophomore Luke Farrell came to Ohio State as one of three tight end recruits in the 2016 cycle for the Buckeyes, and already behind the likes of Marcus Baugh and A.J. Alexander, Farrell's battle for playing time when he arrived on campus proved to be difficult. However, after redshirting his first year as a Buckeye, Farrell put himself in position for at least garbage time reps, earning a pair of catches in 2017.
Farrell entered the spring as what many thought would be the backup tight end to Rashod Berry, but after Ohio State's Spring Game, Urban Meyer said Farrell was the Buckeyes' starting tight end heading into the summer.
"As we finish spring practice, he will be the starting tight end at Ohio State. He had a really good spring. That's as of now. I am not making him the starter (when the season starts), but he has earned that right so we popped him out," Meyer said. "Jake Hausmann has gotten better as well. Rashod Berry suffered two stingers the other day, that's why he did not play."

Luke did a good job in his first start. A very solid blocker and will only get better with more playing time.
