a proven Ohio State field-stretcher with big-play juice
In the 2002 season, Chris Vance finished with 13 catches for 178 yards and 3 touchdowns for Ohio State, giving him 42 career receptions, 722 yards, and 7 scores across 2001-2002.[1][7][13] His calling card was efficiency and explosiveness — he averaged 17.2 yards per catch for his Ohio State career, and his 2001 breakout included 29 receptions for 544 yards with 4 touchdowns.[7][8][9] He wasn’t just a stat line, either: reports describe him as a lanky receiver with highlight-reel hands and dependable big-play ability, the kind of target who can flip field position in a blink.[9][11]
