Emeka Egbuka joins Marvin Harrison Jr. in the 1,000-yard club, marking the second consecutive year Ohio State has had two 1,000-yard receivers in the same season.
Before 2021, only five Ohio State receivers had ever topped 1,000 yards in a single season. Since the start of last season, four more receivers have joined that club.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Garrett Wilson became the first pair of Ohio State receivers to ever top 1,000 yards in the same season when both of them hit quadruple digits to become the sixth and seventh players in school history with 1,000-yard receiving seasons. One year later, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka have duplicated their feat.
After Harrison crossed 1,000 yards in the Maryland game to become the eighth Buckeye pass-catcher to reach that single-season milestone, Egbuka became the ninth 1,000-yard receiver in program history in the Buckeyes’ 12th game of the 2022 season against Michigan, reaching quadruple digits on a 44-yard catch in the fourth quarter.
Egbuka, who entered The Game needing 86 yards to reach 1,000 for the season, joins a list of 1,000-yard Ohio State receivers that includes David Boston, Terry Glenn, Cris Carter, Michael Jenkins and Parris Campbell in addition to Smith-Njigba, Wilson and Harrison.
