BROWN, JOHNSON SPLIT FIRST-TEAM REPS AT CORNERBACK
Two days after Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles expressed concerns about the Buckeyes’ cornerback depth, we got a glimpse at why on Thursday.

Ohio State had only four scholarship cornerbacks on the field during team drills Thursday as sophomore Jordan Hancock did not practice at all due to his injury while freshman Ryan Turner was a limited participant........ True freshman Jyaire Brown and walk-on Lloyd McFarquhar were the second-team cornerbacks on Thursday

Fantastic 1st start for Jyaire. Dude is going to be a good one



I was about to bump his thread for a huge shoutout on a great game. I liked Brown as a recruit but did not think he would be game ready in his frosh season. He held his own and then some out there on Saturday, kid has a really bright future here. Obviously hope Burke and C Brown are healthy moving forward but if I see #18 on the field I am definitely not going to fret. Great job J.

DALLAN HAYDEN AMONG SEVERAL NON-FRESHMEN WHO COULD REDSHIRT FOR OHIO STATE THIS SEASON​

JYAIRE BROWN, CB​

Brown was not seen as a likely candidate to redshirt going into the season as he was in line to be Ohio State’s No. 4 cornerback, but it’s a plan that could warrant consideration now.

With Denzel Burke, Davison Igbinosun and Jordan Hancock playing nearly all of the snaps at cornerback so far this season, Brown has made only two game appearances against Youngstown State and Western Kentucky. He was unavailable for Ohio State’s most recent game against Maryland with an undisclosed injury. Jermaine Mathews Jr. made a case to be Ohio State’s No. 4 cornerback with his play in those two games, including a pick-six against Western Kentucky, while he’s also earned a role on special teams that makes him unlikely to redshirt this year.

Assuming Brown’s injury isn’t long-term, he could still be a candidate to see more playing time in the secondary as the season progresses. His versatility to play both outside and in the slot provides valuable depth at both cornerback and nickel. As with Styles, redshirting Brown could depend on the continued health of the top cornerbacks on the depth chart. If Brown is only likely to see playing time at the end of lopsided wins, however, it would be logical for Ohio State to preserve his three remaining years of eligibility for the chance to play a bigger role in future seasons.
