Kojo Antwi is staying focused on development as he waits his turn in a loaded wide receiver room at Ohio State. “It's a process here and you come to Ohio State to be developed.”
In a loaded unit that returns just about everyone from last season with the exception of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, there’s never been a clear path for Ohio State’s second-year receivers to get on the field in 2023.
With Marvin Harrison Jr., Emeka Egbuka, Julian Fleming and Xavier Johnson back to lead the wide receiver unit, Antwi recognizes he isn’t in line to be a starter this year. With plenty of other talented receivers in the room including Jayden Ballard, Carnell Tate, Brandon Inniss and Noah Rogers, among others, Antwi also realizes nothing will be handed to him after this season either. But Antwi didn’t choose Ohio State for instant gratification.
“When I first got here, in my mind, I knew that I wasn't ready to get on the field yet. I knew that I was going to come in and just work and just try and learn from the older guys like I said, and learn from them, and then take over,” Antwi said. “There's always room for improvement. So I'm not gonna say that I'm ready right now. I'm learning from Marvin and X and Mek and Ju and those guys.
“He's been doing what I was hoping he was going to do, which is good,” Hartline said in December. “I think he's done a great job … if we're able to continue to mesh that and apply that and grow, a mature 18-year-old becomes a 19-year-old and a 20-year-old and we continue to progress that way, the sky's the limit.”– Kojo Antwi
