Depth Chart: Michael Thomas is Officially a Starting Wide Receiver at Ohio State

In what's been a long and winding journey, Michael Thomas is officially listed as a starting wide receiver at Ohio State, according to the team's weekly depth chart.

Thomas, a talented redshirt sophomore, was asked by the coaching staff to sit out last season to mature on and off the field. It's apparently paid dividends.

"He was a mistake guy — every third play, he’d screw it up, and that’s why last year he wasn’t ready to play and that was really hard for him last year," head coach Urban Meyer said recently. "But he’s come out and he’s not the same mistake guy and he’s playing much better. It’s not surprising the success he’s had because he’s practiced that way.”

Thomas leads the Buckeyes with 247 yards and four touchdowns on 13 catches.
