Patrick McKaufman (RSo., 6-6, 200)

LC Greenwood (RFr., 6-3, 212)

Tracin Wallace (RFr., 6-0, 185) Jonathan Shepherd (Fr., 6-4, 195)

Scouting ahead

This season: With Jalen McCleskey and Dillon Stoner being the reliable commodities on the inside, it could help open up the outside for Tyron Johnson and Tylan Wallace, both of whom have deep-ball skills and learned from the guys ahead of them last year. The Cowboys will need some size, which opens the door for a pair of players who redshirted last year in Patrick McKaufman and LC Greenwood, or even one of the incoming players like Jonathan Shepherd or C.J. Moore.

The future: Loaded with youth, and facing the graduation of only one senior in McCleskey, the Cowboys and receivers coach Kasey Dunn can be extremely selective in their recruiting for the 2019 class. OSU doesn’t have a receiver in the class yet, and likely will end up bringing in just one more. Someone like Jadon Jackson from Bentonville, Arkansas, or Langston Anderson from Midlothian, Texas, could be the guy to fill that spot.
