Dobbins has run for 947 yards through seven games this year, averaging 7.1 yards per carry. He has also scored seven touchdowns on the ground and caught two touchdown passes.

Everyone knows how fast Dobbins is but he currently is 217 pounds at only five-foot-10, meaning he can almost run over anyone – and don’t get me started about that powerful stiff arm.

Dobbins is currently fifth on the OSU all-time rushing list and has a chance to jump up to second this year. He might be one of the scariest Buckeyes of all-time.

Justin Fields

I have said this before and I will say it again, Justin Fields might be the best Buckeye quarterback of all-time.

The Georgia transfer has thrown for 1,492 yards, 22 touchdowns and one interception in his first season at Ohio State. This is in addition to 291 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on the ground – 30 total touchdowns and one interception.

That stat line is scary enough, but it could be even better if he did not leave a lot of games early because the Buckeyes were winning by so many.

Fields has shown an ability to throw and run and throw while on the run. If he keeps up this stellar play he can easily lead the Buckeyes to a national title.

Chris Olave

This might be a guy not many people would have put on this list. When you have Jordan Fuller at safety, Master Teague as a backup running back and Binjimen Victor at receiver it is hard to pick sophomore receiver Chris Olave.

This year Olave has 20 catches, third on the team, and 309 receiving yards, second on the team. Out of anyone on the team with 10 catches or more he also has the second-most yards-per-reception average with 15.5 yards per catch.

The two most impressive things, however, are his six team-leading touchdowns and the fact that he is only a sophomore.

If the Buckeyes can get production from Olave and Fields for one ore two more years than teams have a lot to be scared of when playing the Buckeyes.
