Ohio State's tight end room is undergoing a major reset in 2026 — and Arthur Smith's arrival as offensive coordinator makes this position more important than ever.

In this episode, we break down projected snap counts, targets, and roles for Ohio State's tight ends, including Nate Roberts, Hunter Welcing, Mason Williams, and Bennett Christian. We explain how Smith's pro-style offense will use multiple-tight-end personnel, why tight end production may rise without eye-popping stats, and how this impacts wide receiver rotations and overall offensive structure.

Topics covered:

• Projected snap counts and target share for each Ohio State tight end

• How Arthur Smith historically uses tight ends in NFL-style offenses

• Why Nate Roberts has breakout potential

• How Welcing and Williams fit as reliable, high-snap contributors

• Why tight ends will matter more in structure than box scores

If you want to understand how Ohio State's offense will evolve in 2026 — especially in the run game, play-action, and red zone — this tight end breakdown is essential viewing.
