Ohio State makes shortlist for yet another top rated cornerback

Ohio State has made the top six for three-star defensive back Jayden Bellamy out of New Jersey.

Can you ever have too many cornerbacks? Ohio State recently got a verbal commitment from three-star corner Ryan Turner earlier this week, and from Kyle Stokes just a few days prior to that. The Buckeyes have now made the cut for yet another defensive back.

Jayden Bellamy out of Oradell, New Jersey, trimmed his list and has Ohio State firmly in the mix. Bellamy is rated as a three-star prospect and is a top 40 cornerback in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Others making the list for Bellamy’s services include Clemson, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Penn State, and Rutgers. Clemson, somewhat late to the game,  just made its offer a couple of weeks ago.

Some may find it surprising that the Scarlet Knights are included in a list with some of college football’s blue bloods. However, Rutgers is close to home, and maybe more telling is the fact that Bellamy’s dad, Jay Bellamy played his college ball in Piscataway.

Bellamy has an official visit set with Ohio State for June 25 and will be visiting Penn State and Notre Dame earlier in the month.
