Buckeyes manage major roster and staff turnover

Ohio State must replace four of last year's top six receivers and Brian Hartline, while Devin McCuin has emerged as a likely No. 3 receiver and Chris Henry Jr. and Brock Boyd remain key depth candidates under Cortez Hankton. Jeremiah Smith's captaincy reinforces the leadership continuity at receiver, while Legend Bey, the reshuffled offensive line, Kyle Parker's injury and Jayden Fielding's portal entry remain personnel developments to monitor.
