As deep as we think our defensive line was last year, we actually rotated Berry in at times.

I think that may be one of my lingering memories of him, outside of his amazing basketball film. Kid is a freak athlete. I think he has an outside chance to catch on in NFL in a special teams type role.

Good luck RaShod......loved your spirit on this team.

RASHOD BERRY'S FOURTH-DOWN CONVERSION KEPT OHIO STATE'S GAME-WINNING DRIVE ALIVE IN OVERTIME

Maryland’s defense surely expected J.K. Dobbins to get the ball. He had career highs in both carries (37) and rushing yards (203) to go along with a touchdown. Heck, Dobbins said after the game that he wanted the ball.

But on 4th-and-1 on the first possession in overtime of Saturday’s game between Ohio State and Maryland, Dobbins didn’t get it. Instead, Ryan Day dialed up a play-action pass into the flats for Rashod Berry, who didn’t have a single catch in regulation and had just six receptions in the season.

“I was just hoping it worked,” Dobbins said after the game.

It did. With ease.

Berry motioned from the right side of the offensive line to the left, then took two steps toward linebacker Nnamdi Egbuaba at the snap of the ball, pretending he planned to run block. Instead of locking up with Egbuaba, Berry planted his right foot and headed for the flats.

He was wide open. Three steps after his break to the outside, Berry turned his head and watched as Dwayne Haskins delivered a pass, which the redshirt junior tight end reeled in before heading upfield for an 11-yard gain to not just move the chains, but extend the game.

“We called the play before we went out there,” Berry said. “I didn't know it was going to come to me. But when my number's called, I just had to make a play. Then, I just made a play.”

Rashod Berry (TE)

Berry was one of the more interesting players on Ohio State’s roster these past few years. Despite being clearly gifted athletically, he never got a real chance to make a significant impact on the field for the Buckeyes. Bouncing back and forth between tight end and defensive end, Berry rarely saw much playing time.

His stint on the defense was brief, playing only 17 total snaps over the course of four games. He wasn’t used all that much more on the offensive side either, catching a total of 17 passes for 198 yards and four touchdowns over his five-year career (including one redshirt season). Especially this past season, with guys like Luke Farrell and Jeremy Ruckert garnering most of the snaps at TE, Berry did not get many snaps.

Berry did get a small chance to showcase his abilities earlier in the offseason, playing and starting in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl in January where he caught two passes for 54 yards. Still, without a full Pro Day combine to show off his full range of athleticism, it will be tough for Berry to get a true shot in the NFL. The physical tools are there, as the tight end showed sturdy hands and pass-blocking abilities when called upon, but GMs and scouts will have very little film to go on.
