When Lorenzo Styles Jr. transferred to Ohio State last offseason, the expectation was that he would compete for a starting cornerback job this offseason. But none of Ohio State’s starting cornerback jobs opened up.
As Denzel Burke and Jordan Hancock both opted to stay for their senior years with Davison Igbinosun entering his junior year, Styles’ path to a starting job in Ohio State’s secondary is blocked for now. But Styles is still working hard to prove he can make an impact for the Buckeyes’ defense this season.
“I've been stepping up my game every single day getting better, and the coaches have noticed that, my teammates have noticed that,” Styles said last week.
