WR Emeka Egbuka (All B1G, All-American)


  • Egbuka on Ohio State’s win over Notre Dame: “It doesn’t do much for us unless we capitalize on the opportunities we’ve been given.” Egbuka said Ohio State has to “continue to build off this” because top-10 matchups with Penn State and Michigan will come later down the road.
  • Egbuka said he’s not surprised that opponents have double-teamed Harrison this season. “We expected it.” Egbuka added that he and Ohio State’s other receivers must win their one-on-one opportunities when teams choose to place an extra player on Harrison.
  • Egbuka said his development at Ohio State has been next to McCord. “We’ve put in countless hours on the practice field, working on our craft.” On McCord, Egbuka said, “He will always be the calmest person on the field” and shared his belief that McCord is one of the hardest workers on the team.
  • Egbuka said he was proud of Trayanum for scoring Ohio State’s game-winning touchdown. He later added: “We only have three captains this year, but if we had a fourth, it would probably be him.”
  • Ohio State’s eight possessions versus Notre Dame were one more than the Buckeyes had in the first half against Georgia in the Peach Bowl last season. Egbuka said that proves “every play out there means more because we have less plays.”Egbuka said Ohio State’s offense “has to stay on pace” in future matchups and take advantage of opportunities.
Just sayin': He has to be the best WR2 in the country. In fact he might be WR1.b.......:nod:

EMEKA EGBUKA’S INJURY “NOT GOING TO BE A LONG-TERM ISSUE,” BUT STATUS FOR PURDUE GAME IS UNCERTAIN​

By Dan Hope on October 10, 2023 at 12:26 pm @dan_hope

Emeka Egbuka is expected to be back on the field soon for Ohio State, but it’s uncertain whether that will be this week.
Ryan Day said during his Tuesday press conference that the lower-body injury Egbuka suffered against Maryland on Saturday is “not going to be a long-term issue,” but that he did not yet have an update on whether Egbuka will be able to play at Purdue as the junior wide receiver’s status for this week is still being evaluated.
Egbuka was injured early in the fourth quarter against Maryland when he was tackled along the sideline on an 8-yard catch. He limped off the field with assistance from members of Ohio State’s medical staff and did not return to the game. He was seen riding a stationary bike on the sideline later in the fourth quarter, but was wearing a walking boot when he left the stadium after the game.
