For the past two years, Ohio State's cornerback room has lived up to its Best in America moniker.
In 2023, the Buckeyes had the nation's No. 1 pass defense in yards allowed per game (145.9) and yards allowed per pass attempt (5). In 2024, they were No. 3 (167) and 6 (6) in the same two categories.
Now, two of the three starters who fueled Ohio State's efforts at cornerback in those two seasons, Denzel Burke and Jordan Hancock, are out of eligibility and projected as day-one or day-two picks in the 2025 NFL draft. But the third of the starting trio from those campaigns is back for one final go-round alongside two other contributors.
