The [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] cornerback room needs more bodies and that starts with recruiting. The Buckeyes need to add talented players in the 2024 cycle even after getting recruits Calvin Simpson-Hunt and Jermaine Matthews to sign and Davison Igbinosun, one of the top transfers at the position, in the 2023 cycle.
None of the three current commits in the 2024 class are at the position, so getting at least two, maybe three, will be a focus for head coach [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] and staff. They seem to have done enough to impress Maryland cornerback Ify Obidegwu, who included the Buckeyes in his top seven along with Alabama, Maryland, Oregon, Michigan, USC and Tennessee.
