Expectations are already sky high for sophomore cornerback Kendall Sheffield. He is the de facto star in Ohio State’s secondary, following a lineage which includes the likes of Marshon Lattimore and Denzel Ward. In 2017, he was the top cornerback coming out of junior college, and No. 4 junior college prospect overall. Last season, Sheffield was second on the team in passes defended with nine, just behind Ward.
Sheffield now has one more accolade raising expectations as he heads into his sophomore campaign. NFL.com ranked Sheffield as the fastest player in college football based on a variety of factors, including 40-yard dash time and track and field results.
