One of the best individual performances against Ohio State this season came in the Buckeyes' very first game of the season, when Indiana wide receiver Simmie Cobbs terrorized Ohio State's then-inexperienced secondary for 11 catches, 149 yards and a touchdown.

Fortunately for the Buckeyes, they won't have to worry about facing Cobbs again next year, as the Hoosiers pass-catcher announced Thursday that he is declaring for the 2018 NFL draft.

In his final season at Indiana, Cobbs caught a total of 72 passes for 841 yards and eight touchdowns. Bleacher Report's Matt Miller ranks Cobbs as the fifth-best wide receiver in the 2018 draft class.

Ohio State, which won 49-21 at Indiana this season despite Cobbs' efforts, hosts Indiana on Oct. 6, 2018.
