explosive Ohio State slot threat with return-game juice
Ray Small’s Ohio State profile is built on quick-twitch explosiveness and value as a punt returner; over his Buckeyes career he totaled 60 catches for 662 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns, plus 78 punt returns for 790 yards[1][12]. Recruiting services listed him as a top-150 national prospect coming out of Glenville, and his reputation centered on big-play ability rather than volume[2]. He’s the kind of fit teams like when they need suddenness, field-flipping special teams impact, and a receiver who can stress defenses after the catch[1][9].
