From Marvin Harrison Jr. to TreVeyon Henderson, J.T. Tuimoloau to Denzel Burke, the 2023 Ohio State Buckeyes were driven by the play of their 2021 recruits.

On this episode of Kings of Columbus, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis dive into that class of third-year Buckeyes, which included 13 top-100 recruits.

Twelve members of that class made primary contributions this season, and Doug and Bill run through all of them, deciding whether each player met expectations and guessing as to whether each Buckeye will stay in Columbus for 2024 or head to the NFL.
