Quarterback: JT Barrett (2013-2017)

Barrett had one of the most prolific careers for a QB in Ohio State history. With 104 career touchdown passes and a career rating of 152.3, Barrett is No.4 all time in NCAA history with 147 touchdowns responsible for and No.1 in Big Ten history with 12,697 total yards responsible for.

Running back: Ezekiel Elliott (2013-2015)

The 2015 Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, Elliot had a stellar Ohio State career. Responsible for the greatest three game stretch for a Buckeye running back in history, Elliot led the 2014 team to a National title. With 696 yards rushing and eight touchdowns, Elliot ran past Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon en-route to a National Championship.

Tight End: Jeff Heuerman (2011-2014)

The tight end was not a featured position for Ohio State this last decade but that doesn’t mean the Buckeyes didn’t have any good ones. Heuerman is a prime example of that, having 52 career catches for 792 yards and seven career touchdowns.

Wide Receiver: Devin Smith (2011-2014)

An absolutely pivotal player during the 2014 championship run, Smith had 33 receptions for 931 yards and 12 touchdowns his senior season. That’s an unbelievable 28.2 yards per reception.  Smith was No.1 in the Big Ten in touchdown receptions in 2014. A unanimous selection.

Wide Receiver: Parris Campbell (2015-2018)

Campbell put up great career numbers serving as Urban Meyer’s H-Back for three of his four seasons at Ohio State. With 143 career receptions and 1,768 career receiving yards, it was Campbell’s speed that was a real threat to hit a home run on every play. In 2018 he was No.1 in the Big Ten with 12 touchdown receptions.

Wide Receiver: K.J. Hill (2015-current)

It’s hard to leave Ohio State’s all time leader in receptions off this list. With 195 career receptions and going, Hill solidified himself as an all time Buckeye great.

Now for the great ‘Slobs’ who paved the way for these guys to shine.
