Jayden Ballard is working hard to earn a spot in Ohio State’s receiver rotation and has made a big impression on his coaches and teammates with his improvement this offseason.
Just two practices into his second spring at Ohio State, Jayden Ballard has already made a big impression on his Buckeye coaches and teammates.
“Jayden Ballard’s my guy, and I can’t wait to see him take off,” Olave said. “His speed is off the charts. He’s 6-3, he’s probably like 200 pounds now, so he’s got that body frame and he's a deep threat. Once he develops his route running, he’s going to be one of the best in the country.”Ohio State’s NFL Scouting Combine Participants Predict Which Returning Buckeyes Will Emerge in 2022
With four years of eligibility still remaining after taking a redshirt last season, Ballard has the potential to make a big impact in the years to come. Possessing an excellent combination of size and speed and the ability to make big plays downfield, Ballard often draws comparisons to former Ohio State wide receiver Devin Smith – who also played at Massillon Washington High School like Ballard – and Ballard is welcoming those comparisons as he’s changed numbers this year to No.
Jayden Ballard starred at Massillon Washington High School before becoming a Buckeye, just as Devin Smith did before him.
