Chris Olave lauds progress, talent of Ohio State's freshmen receivers
No one can argue that Ohio State has an embarrassment of riches at every position on the field. This season though, the Buckeyes WR room might be one of the deepest in the country.
The Buckeyes have a star-studded duo coming back in WRs, Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson.
Olave and Wilson are two of the best receivers in the country. In 4 years with the Buckeyes, Olave has 110 receptions for 1,766 yards on 16.1 yards per reception and 22 touchdowns.

Olave has high praise for the freshmen Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka.
“They catch on real quick,” Olave said, per Eleven Warriors.“They caught onto the plays real quick. They’re not playing like freshmen and they’re not acting like freshmen, so I can’t wait to see them get on the field and show the world.” According to elevenwarriors.com.
