INSIDE THE LANTERN 2018 SPRING GAME

“We’re going to have to make some decisions, those decisions have not been made.”

URBAN MEYER

THE QUARTERBACK QUESTION

Burrow, Haskins or Martell?

This year’s Spring Game looked to potentially shine a spotlight on the quarterback competition, with the opportunity for either Joe Burrow, Dwayne Haskins or Tate Martell to step up in front of what was a much smaller crowd than ones on Saturdays in the fall.
STEPPING INTO NEW ROLES

BINJIMEN VICTOR

With a 6-foot-4 frame, Ohio State junior wide receiver Binjimen Victor has the height to make him a difficult matchup for opposing cornerbacks. However, throughout spring practice, Victor has been focused on one word, one aspect of his game that he expects to improve in prior to the start of the season: consistency.

“It’s kind of up and down sometimes and I just have to keep maintaining, like stay focused and have consistency throughout the fall camp” - BINJIMEN VICTOR

DRE'MONT JONES

Jones had a chance to take his talent to the NFL. Instead, he felt he still had plenty left to learn at Ohio State. If the coaches are correct about his spring improvements, the decision might pay off. He could simultaneously boost his own draft stock for next year while providing the Buckeyes with one of the most dynamic defensive tackles in college football.

“If he continues his development, he could be the best in America at what he does.” - URBAN MEYER

CHASE YOUNG

Young’s impressive performance on Saturday first came against Munford, but continued when matched up against senior offensive tackle Isaiah Prince, who might be Ohio State’s best offensive lineman. It didn’t matter who tried to block him — he got the better of the matchup. He’s hoping that remains true once the season begins in September. Young said he has already begun to watch film on Oregon State, the Buckeyes’ Week 1 opponent.

This time, the quarterbacks won’t have black jerseys to protect themselves.

“He’s got the potential to be something special. With [defensive line coach Larry Johnson] working with him, I fully expect that to happen.” - GREG SCHIANO
