Brian Hartline says one Ohio State WR is way ahead of schedule with his progress
Published:
Brian Hartline has developed some solid WRs over the years in Columbus. He mentioned 1 wideout that is developing at a really fast rate per Dan Hope of Eleven Warriors.
Jayden Ballard is coming along very nicely in his development and is at the point where Hartline thought he would be towards to the end of the year. Ballard is heading into this 2nd year with Ohio State after appearing in 3 games in 2021. He should get even more playing time if what Hartline says is true.

It will interesting to see where he stacks up with that loaded receiver room in Columbus. The Buckeyes already have Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Julian Fleming, and Marvin Harrison Jr. Not to mention, Emeka Egbuka should be getting some reps as well.
Ballard may be 1 of the WRs that will be next in line once Smith-Njigba, Fleming, and Harrison are gone. He just has to keep working and getting better at his craft.
