Devin Sanchez Checks All the Boxes to Become a Standout Cornerback and Eventual Team Captain for Ohio State

Better Know A Buckeye is our look at every member of Ohio State’s 2025 recruiting class and how they became Buckeyes as they prepare to begin their OSU careers this fall.

Before this year, Ohio State hadn't signed the top cornerback in the class since 2017, when five-star defensive backs Jeff Okudah and Shaun Wade – the top two cornerbacks in that respective class eight years ago – signed with the Buckeyes.

Much like Okudah in 2017, Devin Sanchez (No. 1 cornerback, eighth-ranked prospect in the 2025 class) decided to take his talents from Texas to Columbus, bringing plenty of high expectations and football prowess with him.
