Ohio State safeties coach Matt Guerrieri has high expectations from his unit in 2024.
Guerrieri expects his group to be the best in the country and is working toward building more depth at the position, as evident by the progress he's seen from Malik Hartford and Jaylen McClain in fall camp this year.
OSU's new safeties coach got into specifics about what he'd like to see collectively from his starters and backups this season and answered questions about specific players during an interview with reporters on Tuesday. Safeties Caleb Downs, Lathan Ransom and Malik Hartford each met with the media as well, along with linebacker Cody Simon, who spoke to reporters for the first time since receiving the Buckeyes' "Block O" jersey.
