The trio of Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (JSN) operated with a level of surgical precision that broke the Big Ten. Defenses had to pick their poison: Olave’s elite route running, Wilson’s "contested catch" gravity, or JSN’s impossible lateral agility in the slot. But "WRU" wasn't just about the starters. The bench featured Jameson Williams (who transferred and became an All-American at Alabama), plus true freshmen Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka. It remains the only room in college football history to house four future Top-20 NFL picks simultaneously (and six potential first-rounders total). The era was capped off by the 2022 Rose Bowl, where JSN posted a record-breaking 347 receiving yards in a single game, proving that even without Wilson and Olave, the factory never stops. Is the 2021 Ohio State WR room the most talented position group in sports history? 👇 #OhioState #Buckeyes #WRU #JSN #GarrettWilson #ChrisOlave #MarvinHarrisonJr #Zone6 #GoBucks #NFLDraft #RoseBowl #BrianHartline #BigTenFootball #Seahawks #Saints #Jets #GridironLegends (via osubuckeyefootball on TT)
