C.J. Stroud and Jaxon Smith-Njigba already look like top picks while Paris Johnson Jr., Dawand Jones and Ronnie Hickman are among Ohio State’s other 2023 draft prospects to watch. https://t.co/FCjWEvgEWj

JAXON SMITH-NJIGBA, WR, JUNIOR
As great as Wilson and Olave were at Ohio State, neither of them were the Buckeyes’ most productive receiver last season. That distinction belonged to Smith-Njigba, who set single-season school records for both receptions and receiving yards by catching 95 passes for a whopping 1,606 yards.

If the Rose Bowl was any indication, he could put up even bigger numbers this season as Ohio State’s clear-cut No. 1 receiver, as he set single-game school records with 15 catches for 347 yards against Utah after Olave and Wilson opted out of that game.

An exceptional route-runner who is adept at extending plays in the open field and catches just about everything that comes his way, JSN is well on his way to being Ohio State’s next first-round receiver and might end up being drafted even higher than Wilson and Olave were.
