Five Things: A host of players from the 2021 and 2022 recruiting classes stood out in Ohio State's spring game.
It's easy to make too much of Ohio State's annual spring game. We're all chomping at the bit to get a feel for what some of the newcomers are about and gauge what kind of progress may or may not have been realized for other players expected to fill bigger roles this fall.
But boy does it look like Ohio State has a host of kids from the 2021 and 2022 classes that are going to be beasts this year and beyond. With that game experience and additional time to adjust physically for the two young guys, it might be time to flip-flop the snap counts. Simply put, Tuimoloau and Sawyer look like the two-best options at defensive end and we're still unsure of their ceilings while it seems pretty clear what we can expect from the older guys. The veterans are certainly fine, but I'd argue none are great and there's a chance Tuimoloau and/or Sawyer can be great. It's time to find out.
Now that Olave is off to the NFL, fellow wideout Emega Egbuka has made the switch from 12 to 2 and there's reason to believe he has a shot at being mentioned among the other greats to wear the number. He certainly showed speed and elusiveness a year ago, primarily on special teams, averaging 29.0 yards per kickoff return, taking 20 returns a total of 580 yards. By my count, that's the best kickoff return average by any Buckeye with at least 10 returns in a single-season over at least the last 10 years. Egbuka ranked No. 2 in the country with eight kickoff returns of at least 30 yards and No. 7 with three going for at least 40 yards.
It's obviously going to be tough for Stokes to earn a ton of snaps with Ronnie Hickman, Josh Proctor and others in the mix in the back end of Ohio State's defense but here's to hoping Stokes' performance was a sign of things to come. It's certainly not out of the question he could become Hickman's top backup.True sophomore cornerback Jordan Hancock, the No.
