One Ohio State football player is poised for a massive jump in production

This Ohio State football player is ready to have a massive jump in production this season.

Every year, people outside the Big Ten are surprised by production from one Ohio State football player. To them, he comes out of nowhere. Of course, Ohio State fans know about these players and aren't surprised when they have a high level of production.

This year, there is one specific player who is poised for a massive jump in production because he finally has the opportunity to get the ball more. That player is wide receiver Carnell Tate. Tate now becomes the second receiver on the depth chart with Emeka Egbuka in the NFL.

Tate has been one of the most underrated players on the Buckeyes for a while. He was a former high four-star recruit and played a decent amount as a freshman. Now, he is going to have a shot to get the ball a lot more, especially with defenders paying so much attention to Jeremiah Smith.

Carnell Tate is poised for a big jump in production for the Ohio State football team

The Ohio State Buckeyes will have a new quarterback this season. It will likely be Julian Sayin, but no matter who it is, Tate will be a great security blanket to throw to. He gets in and out of his routes very quickly and is able to create separation with ease.

That's the kind of receiver who can really help a first-time starting quarterback. He has a great catch radius and can make really difficult catches. With most other programs, he would be their number-one receiver. Ohio State is just so loaded that he can't get to the top of the depth chart.

Recollect that Larry Bird was interviewed before the Celtics took on the Lakers in the NBA finals. He said that it wasn't about how he matched up with Magic, but how the fourth and fifth men matched up that would make the difference. Am agreeing, that when J. Smith goes against their first line CB, and then Tate against their 2nd line CB, that leaves Inniss, and tOSU's fourth/fifth receiver to go against the opponent's fourth/fifth CBs. Ultimately, tOSU's WRs are deeper and better, and so there will be mis-matches, and hopefully big gainers. Ergo, would expect that maybe excepting for the big powers, no one can field a pair of corners that are elite, and yeah, Tate will have a big season. Wild card will be, does tOSU have a QB that can consistently make the throws to those WRs? Guess we'll see soon enough. Here's hoping....
