K.J. Hill's decision to return for his senior season is paying off in a big way, and he's now sitting at the top of the Ohio State record books.

Heading into the Big Ten title game, Hill needed four catches to supplant David Boston at the top of the all-time receptions list. He accomplished that feat just moments ago in Indianapolis, catching the 192nd pass of his career.
| RECEIVER | YEARS | REC. | YARDS |
|---|---|---|---|
| K.J. Hill | 2015-2019 | 192+ | |
| DAVID BOSTON | 1996-1998 | 191 | 2,855 |
| CRIS CARTER | 1984-1986 | 168 | 2,725 |
| MICHAEL JENKINS | 2001-2003 | 157 | 2,746 |
| GARY WILLIAMS | 1979-1982 | 154 | 2,792 |
Hill now has five catches and a touchdown in the Big Ten title game.
He has now caught at least one pass in each of the past 47 games. That puts Hill just one game from tying Gary Williams for the most games in a row with at least one reception.
