Brian Hartline

His experiences as a player are the foundation to his rise to quickly becoming a top wide receivers coach, despite only being in the coaching profession three prior years. The achievements of his players are testament to this fact.Led by three fifth-year senior co-captains, Parris Campbell, Johnnie Dixon and Terry McLaurin, and including fourth-year junior K.J. Hill, Ohio State’s 2018 receiver unit caught 310 passes for 4,429 yards and 45 touchdowns … totals that alone broke the school single season marks of 287 receptions (set in 2017), 3,707 yards (2014) and 42 touchdowns (2014).Hartline’s 2018 unit also became the first in school history to have four players with at least 1,000 career receiving yards. Campbell finished with 1,768 career receiving yards, Hill had 1,642 after his junior season, McLaurin had 1,251 and Dixon had 1,146.Outstanding play continued in 2019 for the Ohio State receivers. Hill went on to break the school career mark for receptions with 201 and also finished sixth in school history with 2,332 receiving yards. He led the way for another quartet of 1,000-career yard receivers, as well, including Binjimen Victor (1,340), Austin Mack (1,050) and Chris Olave (1,046).
