It seems nearly every wide receiver on Ohio State is receiving massive praise this offseason except Binjimen Victor.

Victor has never been utilized as much as he should be. Despite his low usage he has 12 career touchdowns.

Ohio State lost Johnnie DixonParris Campbell and Terry McLaurin this offseason. That is a ton of production that needs to be replaced.

With K.J. Hill manning the H-Back position, Victor should be one of the top threats on the outside for the Buckeyes as one of the veterans.

The senior wide receiver has also made some of the craziest plays in recent memory for the Buckeyes.

His catch and run against Penn State was one of the biggest plays for Ohio State last year. Meanwhile, his beautiful touchdown catch against Indiana was a textbook over-the-shoulder grab.

Ohio State has a rare talent in Ben Victor and they need to find a way to get him the ball more.

Victor has to do his part too, but there is no denying he can do things other wide receivers cannot do on this roster. Blocking has been an issue in the past for Victor, but he has improved over the years.

Victor has performed well in the spring, which culminated with a 98-yard touchdown catch in the Spring Game.

Surely offensive guru Ryan Day will figure out how to get the best out of Victor in 2019.
