WVU feels like home, and I’m excited to help build something special in Morgantown.”
Impact on Both Programs
For Ohio State, this is a significant blow. The Buckeyes have long been known as one of the premier programs for developing wide receiver talent, with recent first-round NFL Draft picks and high-powered offenses.
