What’s his deal?
Witten committed to Ohio State over the summer the day after he began his official visit.
The Ohio-product plays wide receiver for Glenville and is a true receiving threat. He’s got great speed and excellent high-point ability, making him an ideal weapon and a matchup problem for opposing defense.
He’s not a tight end in the traditional sense, where his blocking ability outweighs his ability as a receiver. In his case, he’s a unique body type that can play in a handful of roles. A standout basketball player too, he fits the mold of many talented tight ends that have come before.
How he fits into Ohio State’s plans
Just like how he plays the position, he’s a bit of a unique fit into the Ohio State offense.
He’s an explosive player that hasn’t put his hand in the dirt much, meaning that there’s a strong chance Ohio State uses him uniquely as well. Compared to the way that Cade Stover and Jeremy Ruckert have been used in the past, using Witten in that same way wouldn’t be maximizing his skills.
