CHRIS OLAVE AND GARRETT WILSON PRIMED TO MAKE HISTORY AS OHIO STATE’S FIRST EVER DUO TO EACH RECORD 1,000 RECEIVING YARDS IN A SINGLE-SEASON
Make no mistake, stars matter but the numbers that matter most are production on Saturdays.
Wilson and Olave have that going for them in spades.
Olave was already a proven commodity heading into the 2020 season after going off for 49 catches, 849 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2019, leading the squad in receiving yards, touchdowns and yards per catch. Wilson’s 2019 wasn’t shocking but still notable as the then-true freshman went for 30 receptions, 432 yards and five touchdowns while showcasing elite body control and hands.
Those numbers set the stage for impressive 2021 production from the pair despite playing in a pandemic-shortened season.
For his part, Olave posted a ridiculous 50 catches for 729 yards and seven scores in seven games. He went for over 100 yards in five of eight games including a 6-for-132 with two touchdowns night during a revenge-performance against Clemson in a College Football Playoff semifinal. His season highs came against Michigan State via a 10-catch, 139-yard effort.
Wilson played one extra game, racking up 43 receptions for 723 yards and six touchdowns but his season was surprisingly uneven. The 6-foot, 188-pounder out of Lake Travis in Austin, Texas averaged an electric 128.3 receiving yards over the first four contests but fell off to just 52.5 spanning the final four games.
