The annual spectacle that is Big Ten media days is almost upon us, and that ushers in the realization that the college football season is just around the corner.
And thanks to the Ohio State Football Twitter account, we now know which Buckeye players will be representing the scarlet and gray in Chicago this year. On Wednesday, it was announced via graphic that three of the team’s most important players will accompany Ryan Day on the trip. The four will take part in the unofficial countdown to the season by appearing in front of reporters and being available to field questions.
If you are even a casual Ohio State football fan, you know the trio well. Generally, some of the most respected leaders of the team make the annual trip, and that’s certainly the case here.
Here is a rundown of the three players looking to represent Ohio State on Wednesday, July 26. The three will be made available separately after Ryan Day gives his scheduled press conference at 12:15 p.m. ET.
Marvin Harrison Jr., Wide Receiver
Short Bio
Harrison is entering his junior season and is widely considered to be the most talented wide receiver in the country. He led OSU in receiving by catching 77 passes for 1,263 yards and 14 touchdowns. He was a unanimous All-American and was flat-out snubbed as the Biletnikoff winner (I voted for him so don’t blame me).
J.T. Tuimoloau, Defensive End
Short Bio
Tuimoloau is also entering his junior season and looking for a major breakout campaign. He tallied 28 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss (3.5 of those as sacks). He was a literal game-wrecker against Penn State and was voted first-team All-Big Ten in 2022.
Cade Stover, Tight End
Short Bio
Stover is coming back for one more year after putting off the NFL and is one of the most talented tight ends the Buckeyes have ever had. He caught 36 passes for 406 yards and five touchdowns in 2022 and looking for an even bigger 2023.
