Former Cowboys superstar believes Ohio State has best receiving core in college football
While it has been hyped up all season that the Ohio State Buckeyes’ offense is one of the best in the country, there are some people that continue to have doubts about how talented they actually are.
Over the past few seasons, they have lost players like Marvin Harrison Jr., Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba to the NFL, and while some people think that they couldn’t have possibly gotten better at the receiver position, a former NFL star believes otherwise.
In a recent post by ‘swishxvibes’, they put out a picture of Ohio State’s Carnell Tate, Emeka Egbuka and Jeremiah Smith with the caption ‘Best WR trio in college football’. While the post had its fair share of critics, Dallas Cowboys star receiver Dez Bryant silenced them with four simple words.
Not up for debate! https://t.co/wOsNepRCf6
â Dez Bryant (@DezBryant) September 5, 2024The three-time Pro Bowler and the Cowboys top-five all-time receptions leader knows a thing or two about receivers:
Carnell Tate is entering his sophomore season out of IMG Academy as a five-star recruit with over 300 receiving yards and two touchdowns.Â
â CBS Sports College Football đ (@CBSSportsCFB) August 31, 2024Emeka Egbuka, senior and captain of the team, has over 1,900 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns, making him a top-four receiver heading into the 2025 NFL Draft.
Finalizing the trio is true-freshman prodigy Jeremiah Smith. Listed as the number one recruit for the 2024 class, Smith surpassed expectations by not only becoming the only freshman to start under head coach Ryan Day, but in his first game, Smith put up 92 yards on six receptions and two touchdowns.
