The general consensus is that this year's Ohio State football roster is excellent. How does each individual position group grade out though?
, it feels like time to evaluate each position group on the roster. The Buckeyes may be the most talented roster in all of college football headed into the new season, but some position groups have more question marks than others. Obviously additional confidence can be instilled during camp the next few weeks. At the same time, additional concerns can also arise.When it comes to future success at this position, the Ohio State Buckeyes should be in excellent shape.
This should be better than the Kyle McCord situation last year, where the quarterback situation honestly could have received a grade somewhere around a C. Assuming that Howard gets the job, the Ohio State offense should run fine. He is usually pretty accurate, composed and has the ability to run. Howard might not have the strongest arm though, which could limit the ability to launch the ball down the field. Regardless of how this season plays out, no one should expect Howard to look like C.J.
Brandon Inniss is also expected to be the No. 4 wide receiver, which works well considering he offers plenty of versatility. Inniss is a player who will likely line up in the slot a lot, but could get some touches on jet sweeps or even some carries out of the backfield if needed at any point. Tight end is not always the most utilized position at Ohio State, but Cade Stover did an excellent job making the most of his receiving opportunities and was a tough blocker. Gee Scott Jr. will need to be ready to match that intensity.Last season, the Ohio State offensive line probably played at about a C level per Ohio State standards. They had good moments and they had bad moments. Headed into the 2024 season, they should be improved.
