The role moving forward for Buckeyes receiver Kamryn Babb, who caught his first pass against Indiana, will depend on what he can handle physically.
His fourth ACL tear cost him all of last season, and a nick from a preseason practice in August sidelined him for the first nine games this fall.
“If he can take on more, absolutely we’ll give it to him,” Day said. “We’ll just have to see how much more his body can take on.” Day said Tuesday that he was uncertain about what that volume might be, pointing to the severity of the preseason setback. Since he was hurt three months ago, Babb has worn a brace on his left knee.Though opportunities for playing time have been limited, Babb has been an inspirational figure within the program for his handling of the string of injuries and was selected by teammates as a captain for the second straight season.
Before going down in preseason camp, he had built a rapport for quarterback C.J. Stroud in spring practice.Day praised Babb, who is listed as 6 feet and 210 pounds, for a variety of skills.
