Didn't fully appreciate how good this Justin Fields throw was watching live. Not the tightest window, but still between two defenders, essentially running away from the play, defender in his face, off platform. Perfect placement. Nice catch by Jameson Williams, too. pic.twitter.com/PvU5UlDxN9

WR JAMESON WILLIAMS
OK, the Buckeyes don’t really need Williams to become a star given that they have Olave and Wilson and a smorgasbord of talented young receivers pushing for playing time behind him. But it certainly would be a nice bonus.

There were plenty of people hyping Williams as a potential breakout star going into last season (guilty as charged), but that didn’t quite materialize as hoped. In Ohio State’s eight games, Williams caught just nine passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns.

Williams is one of the fastest players – quite possibly the fastest – on Ohio State’s roster, and he has flashed the ability to turn that speed into big plays. Most notably, Williams had a 45-yard deep-ball touchdown catch in Ohio State’s College Football Playoff semifinal win over Clemson. But that was one of only two plays Williams made last season that went for more than 20 yards.

If Williams can start making big plays on a more regular basis, he could add another dimension to Ohio State’s offense. He’s going to need a strong spring and summer, though, just to prove he should stay in the starting lineup ahead of Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Julian Fleming, who should get a chance to compete for that spot.
