A new era has begun in the Ohio State wide receiver room with Brian Hartline officially gone and off to USF, and now Cortez Hankton is taking over. Hankton comes to the Buckeyes from LSU, where he spent the 2024 and 2025 seasons with the Tigers. He was once a receiver himself at Texas Southern University and then went on to play a few seasons in the NFL.
Hankton has some big shoes to fill as Hartline built Ohio State's wide receiver room into one of the best in the country. So, his first move as the receivers coach seems like he is trying to swing for the fences, and Ohio State fans should love it.
