The Ohio State football team has consistently had some of the nation’s best wide receivers. From Michael Thomas to Garrett Wilson, there has been no shortage of talent coming through Columbus.
This season, The Buckeyes will be returning Emeka Egbuka and then adding standout freshman Jeremiah Smith, both of which are expected to have a good amount of impact on the offense this season.
In the midst of those high-profile players, Carnell Tate is often forgotten about, but when asked about his development and what he brings to the table after practice, head coach Ryan Day gave an uplifting answer.
“The limit for Carnell is just through the roof. I don’t think there is a limit to what he can be,” Day said after the first day of fall camp. “He’s not someone you typically hear but feel out there,” Day said after the first day of training camp.
Tate spent his freshman season with the Buckeyes, ending the year with 18 receptions and 264 yards, snagging one touchdown as well. He played in 13 games, so he was used fairly often.
Originally a 5-star recruit from Bradenton, Florida, Tate was the 3rd-best wide receiver in the Class of 2023 and has the talent to explode this season.
