Breaking News:Three Ohio State football players named to 2025 Biletnikoff preseason watch list

As we continue to march on towards the start of the college football season and watch Ohio State do its thing on the national stage as the defending College Football Playoff national champions, we continue to receive announcements on the various preseason college football award watch lists.

One of the latest list comes from the Biletnikoff Award, handed out annually by the Tallahassee Touchdown Club and given to the best college football wide receiver. And, if we’re talking about receivers, there aren’t any programs in America that can hold a candle to Ohio State over the last few years, and it’s still going.

This year, there are three pass catchers wearing scarlet and gray who have been named to the Biletnikoff preseason watch list, and that would of course be superstar Jeremiah Smith and his teammate Carnell Tate, but it also includes tight end Max Klare. They are a part of 46 names appearing on the list.

Smith looks to build on arguably the best freshman season by a college football receiver ever, while Tate should have an opportunity to have a breakout season with the departure of Emeka Egbuka and the attention Smith will receive. He showed flashes of his potential last year and is primed to log plenty of snaps this season.

Klare might be a surprise on this list, but he was an All-Big Ten performer last season for Purdue and considered one of the best tight ends in the country.
