Ohio State's Cornerbacks Return Quality Veterans With Third Position Coach In Three Years

Over the summer, Eleven Warriors is taking a look at the state of every position on the Ohio State football team.

Ohio State has more uncertainty about its linebacker personnel than any other position, but there might not be more schematic questions on the team than at cornerback.

Jeff Hafley, the first-year secondary coach, won't rely nearly as heavily on press man coverage as the Buckeyes did prior to his arrival. Instead, he says he'll frequently vary his coverages. Based on this spring, he also could mix up personnel packages to throw off defenses.

There's a lot still to learn about how Hafley will deploy his cornerbacks, but he'll have some experienced options to work with.
