Joe Royer, Cincinnati, Player News
|
Jeremy Ruckert was a major part of Ohio State's offense in recent seasons. He played more than twice the number of snaps as his backup last fall and got nearly half of the snaps among tight ends in 2020 but Ruckert graduated in December and went off to t he NFL, leaving the Buckeyes with a sizable hole atop their depth chart. Ahead of preseason training camp, tight end remains one of the biggest unknowns for an offense that is otherwise loaded with talent at the skill positions and experience along the o ffensive line. Ohio State is without a tight end who has more than five career catches. The six scholarship tight ends on the roster have combined for 16 receptions.It might prove a difficult task for any one of them to replace Ruckert's pass-catc hing production. His 26 receptions last season were the most by a Buckeyes tight end since Marcus Baugh hauled in 28 in 2017. A potential X-factor, though, is Joe Royer, who enters his third season with the program. Late in spring practice, quarterback C .J. Stroud identified him as someone flying under the radar who was poised to seize a larger role. As if to back up the talk, Royer caught a 24-yard pass in the spring game the following week. Coming out of Elder High School in Cincinnati as a three-star recruit, he received praise for his abilities as a pass catcher, but he was lean at 225 pounds. He's since added about 20 pounds. - Columbus Dispatch

Poised for a 2022 standout season: TE Joe Royer, redshirt freshman. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Royer was name-checked by QB C.J. Stroud as a possible breakout player. The Buckeyes bring back just one experienced tight end, so Royer will get a long look. He caught two passes, including a 24-yard touchdown, in the spring game. - AP College Football
