Ohio State Nickel Jordan Hancock Wants More Turnovers for Himself, Secondary in 2024
Jordan Hancock wants more takeaways from both himself and his fellow defensive backs in 2024.
OHIO STATE NICKEL JORDAN HANCOCK WANTS MORE TURNOVERS FOR HIMSELF, SECONDARY IN 2024
For a secondary, there doesn’t seem to be a ceiling beyond the No. 1 pass defense in the country, but somehow Ohio State looks destined to exceed those heights in 2024.
After topping college football by allowing just 145.9 yards per game through the air in 2023, the Buckeyes return each of their three starting cornerbacks and their starting strong safety. Free safety, the lone hole to fill in the back end, was plugged by a superstar transfer in Caleb Downs.
Each of the Buckeyes’ defensive backs will surely have their own areas of focus as they scour and search for ways to become better than what they were last year, which was, collectively, the best in the nation. For starting nickelback Jordan Hancock, the solution is simple – create more turnovers.
“We just gotta make more plays in the back end,” Hancock said in March. “I feel like I can get more interceptions, more forced fumbles. So just ball disruptions and making more turnovers, that's our main goal.”

I can't remember being so excited about a defense heading into a season tbh. They were awesome last year and now we move Styles down to LB, and add Downs at Safety? Opposing offenses have to be shaking their heads. Hancock is top talent and Burke/Iggy are just as good...that is going to be a real problem for all other D1 teams this year.Ohio State Nickel Jordan Hancock Wants More Turnovers for Himself, Secondary in 2024

Yeah, in addition to the INT he was credited with 5 tackles, 3 solo.
Just sayin': His interception closed out Corn's last possession (with 1:16 to go in the 4th) and assured a Buckeye win.
