Ohio State's Secondary is Set to Face a Number of Talented Wideouts As Kerry Coombs Looks to Bounce Back in 2021

Kerry Coombs is looking to get "DBU" back on track after a rough 2020.

Outside of the obvious battle under center, the Buckeye defensive backfield has been the biggest offseason storyline. After the 2020 campaign saw the unit struggle against the likes of Indiana, Penn State, and Alabama, it will need to get better if Ryan Day wants to make yet another playoff run.

In his return to Columbus, Kerry Coombs saw his pass defense finish the season ranked No. 122 in America. Shaun Wade struggled in his move to the outside corner spot, Cam Brown suffered a season-ending injury in week two, and several young players were thrown into the fire.
