2026 tOSU Defense Discussion

[ScriptOhio]

Ohio State true freshmen corners Jay Timmons, Jordan Thomas made strong impression during spring​

"They're very mature," OSU co-defensive coordinator/secondary coach Tim Walton said. "They love to compete. They pay close attention to detail. They're very coachable. They can process the game. You know what I mean?"

"So, they've got a lot of great qualities. And football is important to them. So, they're serious. It matters to them; it's important to them. So, those things are great qualities. And they don't get flustered by situations or hard coaching."

Always a good news, bad news thing. Great recruiting means alot of talent for the team. That's the good news. The bad news is that everyone can't get the amount of reps they want (or deserve in their eyes), for whatever reason. If I had a nickel for everytime I read "he'd be a starter for any other team", could probably fund some NIL money. When a guy works his tail off, takes coaching, pumps the iron, does the work, and still doesn't get minutes (someone better, portal transfers etc), then they get discouraged and look elsewhere.
