With bum wheels repaired, Emeka Egbuka quietly enters 2023 off the fifth-most receiving yards ever in a season by a Buckeye. Now, he'll look to add even more 'explosiveness' to his game.
His stats were that of an emerging superstar. Marvin Harrison Jr. was and is rightfully gobbling up headlines. Still, Egbuka posted 74 receptions for 1,151 yards — the fifth most in a season in Ohio State history — and 10 touchdowns with two rushing scores a year ago.
Egbuka isn’t certain what a fully healthy year looks like for him. But with sky-high expectations for what he and Harrison can accomplish in 2023, one has to believe it isn’t good for opposing secondaries. “Just that explosiveness,” Harrison said of what a fully-healthy, fully-realized Egbuka brings to the table. “I think he might have lacked a little bit , just from certain injuries. I’m very excited to see what he can do when he is healthy.”
“That explosiveness — I think he might have lacked a little bit , just from certain injuries. I’m very excited to see what he can do when he is healthy.”His lower-body issues continued “nagging” him into spring practice, so a few minor surgeries helped resolve the issues Egbuka dealt with a year ago for the long term.
At the end of Ohio State’s 11th fall camp day, which was open for media viewing, Egbuka gave a rousing speech to various first- and second-teamers who weren’t executing offensively, demonstrating a more vocal role in leading the team.
