Initial 2026 Ohio State Depth Chart Projection:

Although Ohio State’s offense returns eight starters from last season, there are still plenty of depth chart questions entering spring practice.

We know that Julian Sayin will be Ohio State’s starting quarterback, Bo Jackson will be Ohio State’s starting running back and Jeremiah Smith’s leading receiver. On the other hand, there will be a battle for at least one starting wide receiver spot, there are four candidates to play major roles at tight end and there could be reshuffling on the offensive line even with four returning starters in the trenches.

In our initial depth chart projection for the 2026 season, I’ve put together a look at how I predict Ohio State’s depth chart could stack up at all 11 positions on offense.
