Big Ten Football: Each team’s most important newcomer for 2020
By Dante Pryor
With the Buckeyes, you can play, “find the five-star”. They do not rebuild, they reload. The case is no different this season. Chase Young is going to be hard to replace, but they have two or three pass rushers who can replace his production.
JK Dobbins left early for the NFL, but Master Teague and Oklahoma transfer Trey Sermon will fit in nicely for Dobbins. Despite losing Binjimen Victor and Austin Mack, they still have speed and elite talent at wide receiver for Justin Fields to throw to.
The Buckeyes welcome three five-stars to Columbus this fall and all three of them have an opportunity to play. Julian Fleming is the best of those three five-stars. He has an opportunity to be one of the greats ever at Ohio State.
It is hard no to love receivers who are “handsy”. He goes after the ball with his hands; he does not wait for the ball to come into his body. Fleming is devastating in the open field when he’s running with the football.

One thing that has to have Ryan Day and the Ohio State offensive coaching staff excited is Fleming is a nasty perimeter blocker. He is the total package and is going to play when the season starts.
