Ohio State’s classic chain-mover turned all-time receiving benchmark
Michael Jenkins is a Buckeyes legend, not a current 2026 roster WR, but he still matters because his Ohio State résumé sets a gold standard: in the 2001-2003 seasons he finished with 165 catches for 2,898 yards and 16 touchdowns, and his school-record receiving-yardage mark still anchors Ohio State’s historical stat leaders. He was a big, physical boundary receiver who started 38 of his final 39 games, which tells you the deal: reliable, durable, and productive. If you want a proven possession target archetype, Jenkins is the blueprint.
