It's kind of a rite of passage for Ohio State wideouts to step up as freshman and make an almost immediate impact for the Buckeyes, and from the time that he committed to OSU people expected big things from Garrett Wilson. He is delivering on that potential.
First up, a 52 yard punt return that he almost took to the house for six.

And then, a 38 yard Moss-esque circus touchdown catch where he his concentration never broke away from the ball, even as he was falling to the ground.

The wide receiver room might seem a little crowded at the moment, but if Wilson continues making plays like these, it's going to be increasingly difficult to keep him off the field.
