Chris Olave has tied David Boston’s record.
By catching the 34th touchdown of his Ohio State career on the Buckeyes’ opening drive against Michigan State on Saturday, Olave is now tied with Boston for the most touchdown receptions in school history.
The record-tying catch came when Olave made his 12th touchdown catch of the 2021 season, tying his career-high for a single season. He caught a 23-yard deep ball from C.J. Stroud to give the Buckeyes an early 7-0 lead over the Spartans.

Olave has tied Boston’s record by catching three touchdowns in 2018, 12 in 2019, seven during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season and now seven again this year.
If Olave can catch just one more touchdown pass this season, he’ll dethrone Boston to seize the all-time Ohio State touchdown reception for himself.
