Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Just sayin': He was a SR/TR, he wasn't eligible to come back. Hopefully he gets invited to the NFL combine and puts up some great numbers, etc.

Is it stupid to move him to safety with that size and run stopping ability? Keep him away from WRs that he'll just grab and get him to hit.

Ohio State Buckeyes star defender rising quickly up NFL Draft boards as he destroys Senior Bowl competition
Davison Igbinosun is lighting up the Senior Bowl, defending passes, looking like an early round NFL Draft pick
Davison Igbinosun dominating at Senior Bowl practices
The Senior Bowl practices are chaotic, with over 130 players participating, and the action moving nonstop for several hours every day. It can be easy to miss individual success stories amid everything going on. However, a few players stand above the rest every single day by making play after play — Davison Igbinosun was one of those on Tuesday (and will likely do it again Wednesday/Thursday).Igbinosun was smooth, quick, and violent on every single rep. It didn’t matter if it was one-on-ones, individual positional drills, 7-on-7, or full 11-man team sessions, Igbinosun consistently stood out. His play of the day came on a pass from LSU’s QB, Garrett Nussmeier. Igbinosun was in off-coverage, facing Cincinnati wide receiver Cyrus Allen on the outside of the formation. Allen ran a quick route, coming back to the line of scrimmage, Nussmeier placed the ball perfectly outside, away from Igbinosun, but former Ohio State star broke quickly and sent the ball flying into the sideline.
Igbinosun continued making solid plays throughout the first day of Senior Bowl practice, and even when he would fail to make a pass break-up, he still found himself draped all over opposing wide receivers (as you can see on his rep against Kevin Coleman in the post below from our own A to Z Sports’ Commanders writer, Josh Taylor).
This was Igbinosun’s style throughout his time with the Ohio State Buckeyes, using his 6-2, 195-pound frame, with great length and physicality, to make wide receivers feel his presence on every single snap. He defended 23 passes and intercepted four passes in college, so it’s no surprise to see him doing more of the same now at the highest levels of football competition.
Igbinosun is almost certainly going to continue his run of dominance in Mobile at the Senior Bowl. He’s definitely going to test well at the NFL Combine. Ohio State fans should expect to see Igbinosun rise quickly over the next few weeks, and perhaps be the sixth Buckeye off the board this spring in the NFL Draft — likely following Caleb Downs, Carnell Tate, Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles Jr., and Kayden McDonald.

I don't know if it was talked about enough ....but he greatly improved over last year. Cut the penalties way down, and I'd say most of the ones he got flagged for were reputation calls anyways.

Davison Igbinosun Disputes Claim That He Wore Mitts in Practice to Prevent Him from Grabbing Receivers: “That’s Cap”
Davison Igbinosun says the story that the former Ohio State cornerback wore oven mitts in practice to prevent him from grabbing receivers was “not true.”
Davison Igbinosun Disputes Claim That He Wore Mitts in Practice to Prevent Him from Grabbing Receivers: “That’s Cap”
Davison Igbinosun wants to set the record straight: He never wore oven mitts to prevent him from grabbing receivers in practice.
As Ohio State looked for ways to help Igbinosun cut down on penalties in 2024, then-defensive coordinator Jim Knowles told reporters that Ohio State had the cornerback wear special gloves in practice to prevent him from grabbing receivers.
“We've got to put the gloves on him so that he can't grab,” Knowles said on Oct. 29, 2024.
Four days later, Igbinosun made the signature play of his Ohio State career, stealing the ball out of Penn State receiver Harrison Wallace III’s hands for an interception in the end zone – a seven-point swing just before halftime that played a crucial role in a 20-13 road win for the Buckeyes over the third-ranked Nittany Lions.
That prompted a question at Ohio State’s press conference the following Tuesday about whether “the mitts” worked, to which Knowles replied, “Absolutely,” creating the folklore that Igbinosun wore gloves resembling kitchen equipment in practice.
Igbinosun, however, says that never actually happened.
“That's cap. That’s not true,” Igbinosun said after Wednesday’s pro day when asked if he wore “oven mitts” in practice. “I don’t know who made that up, I think it was Jim Knowles … I’ve seen that narrative, but I came back to change the narrative.”
