#1 CB in the country and he feels “blessed” to go to Ohio State. Coach Walt is a beast on the recruiting trail.

Timmons reminds me of Jordan Hancock, in that he’s a playmaker and will create a bunch of big plays from the slot

Not only is the 5* talent there, he's very polished and advanced for his age. So he should make noise and get some early PT.

Depth Chart Outlook
While Timmons can play both on the outside and at nickel, the slot is where he will likely begin his Ohio State career, as it's the most likely path to the field for Timmons as a freshman. Florida State transfer Earl Little Jr., who played safety in Tallahassee but is expected to play nickel at OSU, will hold the top spot in the depth chart. Still, Timmons could very well be in the second spot in the slot on the two-deep to begin his first season as a Buckeye.In formations where Ohio State uses six defensive backs, Timmons could be on the field in those situations, competing for playing time with fellow freshman Jordan Thomas, Alabama transfer Cam Calhoun and redshirt sophomore Miles Lockhart, among others. He could also earn early playing time on special teams, where his speed and eye for the football could allow him to be an outstanding gunner early on.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. and Devin Sanchez are the favorites to start at cornerback to begin the 2026 season, but Timmons has the tools to compete for a top backup spot right away. Once Mathews and Little take their talents to the NFL following the 2026 season, Timmons could very well be a starter in Ohio State’s secondary as a sophomore in 2027.

Practice #2 observations
Double Nickels 46 minutes ago
From Chase
Earl Little Jr. on Jay Timmons:
“He came in, making plays off the bat. He’s there mentally as well as physically,” Little said. “I commend him and tip my hat to him. He’s gonna be a great player for us.”

Too soon old, too late smart
Wow! Two DB homeruns in a row. Hope Day & Co throw him to the wolves a bit early. Ala Sanchez. Sanchez balled out, and thusly became a starter in year two of his tenure with the Buckeyes. Would imagine that the two of them (Timmons and Sanchez) huddle together, sharing the 'how-to's' of the position, and what to expect. And hopefully Sayin puts some pressure on Timmons early on, so he can be blooded. Most people learn more from their failures than their victories. And those losses are what build up a person. Go Bucks!
