Ohio State lost both of its starting cornerbacks early to the 2017 NFL Draft.
Gareon Conley and Marshon Lattimore both gave up eligibility and thus left the Buckeyes with two giant holes in the back end of their defense.
Junior-to-be Denzel Ward figures to be one of the starters for next season, but the other spot, as of right now, appears to be wide open.
That seems like a convenient time for Ohio State to bring in a pair of five-star prospects.
Jeffrey Okudah and Shaun Wade both enrolled early for the Buckeyes and, according to the two of them, they’ve each been told to expect to play as true freshmen.
