The two players above never played a meaningful down at Ohio State.
After a redshirt in 2014 as a true freshman, former four-star cornerback Joshua Norwood watched Gareon Conley and Eli Apple run Kerry Coombs's cornerbacks ship as the Buckeyes went 12-1 and thumped Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl to close out the 2015 season.
Norwood participated in 11 games this past season, recording eight total tackles and even a tackle for loss during the team's 62-3 blowout win at Maryland. With most of his work on special teams in 2016 and a horde of young talent already enrolled at his position like Jeffrey Okudah, Marcus Williamson, Shaun Wade and Kendall Sheffield, Norwood saw the writing on the wall.
