Highlights of Garrett Wilson’s 2021 season at Ohio State
Published:
After three outstanding years at Ohio State, Garrett Wilson is moving on to the NFL. He put up some big numbers during his time in Columbus and is now expected to be a high first-round pick on Thursday night.
Wilson is thought by many to be the top wide receiver in this year’s NFL Draft class. He has the ability to beat defenders deep, make highlight-reel catches and turn short-yardage catches into big-time plays.
Last season, Wilson was one of just 5 B1G receivers to go over the 1,000-yard mark. He totaled 1,058 yards and 12 touchdowns on 70 catches. His most impressive stretch came in the final 3 games of the regular season, when he totaled more than 100 yards and scored at least 1 touchdown in each contest:
- vs. Purdue: 10 catches, 126 yards, 3 touchdowns
- vs. Michigan State: 7 catches, 126 yards, 2 touchdowns
- at Michigan: 10 catches, 119 yards, 1 touchdown
