Terry McLaurin, Austin Mack, Johnnie Dixon and Parris Campbell 

 

Great article from Adam Rittenberg, ESPN Staff Writer:

Wide receiver isn't usually the position associated with ironclad bonds, unity and leadership. That distinction usually goes to the offensive or defensive line. Receivers are seen in a different light. "Prima donnas and divas and selfish players," Mack said as the others nodded and smiled.

"The position is a very selfish position," Smith said. "It's all about touches, it's all about catches and being in the spotlight, catching touchdowns. There are some divas and some less divas. If it's a stereotype, it's an accurate one."  It just doesn't seem to apply to Ohio State's group this year.

Also from the Rittenberg article:

Shortly after Campbell and McLaurin arrived on campus, Mickey Marotti, who oversees Ohio State's strength and conditioning program, pulled Smith aside. These two kids, he said, are going to change the culture in your room like you've never seen.

Great to see our guys get some respect from the national press. Can not wait to watch the Buckeyes rock it in 2018.
