Tim Walton Says Diverse Skillsets of Ohio State Wideouts Breeds Confidence for Cornerbacks, Jordan Hancock Wants “At Least Five Interceptions” in 2024

Returning all three starters from the nation's No. 1 passing defense a year ago, one theme has pervaded the offseason for how Ohio State's cornerback room can get better: turnovers.

It's been a big point of emphasis for Denzel Burke and Jordan Hancock. That trend continued when Ohio State's cornerbacks met with the media on Friday, as Hancock says he wants "at least five interceptions" in 2024 while Burke called pass breakups "cool" but said "you've gotta turn that ball over."

Tim Walton got into some of the nuts and bolts of how players are progressing in his room and said that the diverse skillsets and competition provided by Ohio State's wide receivers will serve the DBs well on game days.
