Hartline

Ohio State wide receivers coach Brian Hartline has also noticed Egbuka’s growth as a leader.

“He’s probably one of the best people we’ve had in our room, both as a person and as a player,” Hartline said.

Hartline is still widely considered a rising star in the coaching industry.

Possible drawback: Even though he’s an ace recruiter who’s universally respected, Hartline still has not had full control of an offense and might need further seasoning before landing his first head coaching job.

Brian Hartline was offensive coordinator for the Buckeyes last year, and will remain on staff as wide receivers coach.
