A few weeks ago there was chatter that Buckeye wide receiver coach Brian Hartline could be an option for multiple schools to fill their head coaching vacancies. In just four short years, the former Ohio State star has elevated himself in the coaching ranks and is viewed as one of the best in the country.
Hartline has coached multiple first round picks (Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave and one can argue Jameson Williams) and has seen a total of seven of his former players get drafted. It’s not just production on the field, it’s off it as well as the receivers coach has gotten a reputation as being one of the best recruiters in the country.
Today, more recognition for Hartline, as On3 named him their national positional coach of the year.

This season just 26 players eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark and Hartline coached two of them, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka. The Buckeyes were one of two teams to have two players reach that mark but Harrison Jr. and Egbuka’s total were more than the Arizona’s pair. It’s another impressive feather in Hartline’s cap and the Ohio State administration should give him a well deserved raise to ensure he is kept around.
