USA TODAY INCLUDES BUCKEYES IN PRESEASON ALL-USA TEAMS
USA Today released its 2019 ALL-USA Preseason high school selections on offense and defensethis week, and several Buckeyes were included.
Headlining the group on offense were Paris Johnson Jr. and Julian Fleming, but Luke Wypler was also included from the 2020 class. Marvin Harrison Jr. was listed for the 2021 class as well. On defense, Ohio State commits Clark Phillips and Jack Sawyer were featured. Five-star cornerback Elias Ricks, No. 1 2021 cornerback Tony Grimes and five-star 2021 athlete Emeka Egbuka were included.
It’s difficult to name All-USA teams teams, so the task was a mighty one to take on for USA Today, but as far as how to look at these selections from an Ohio State standpoint, there are a few observations.
First, and most significant, is that Phillips was included on the list with Ricks and No. 1 cornerback Kelee Ringo. Phillips is sometimes left out of the conversation when it comes to top cornerbacks in the country, and he’s slid to No. 4 at the position within the 2020 class since committing to Ohio State. The upside for Phillips is just as high as the other two top cornerbacks on this list, though.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
PHILLIPS, RANSOM RANKED NO. 5
Rivals has been rolling out its updated class rankings at each position over the last week, and Clark Phillips III and Lathan Ransom were each rated No. 5 at their respective position (cornerback; safety).
With Ohio State expected to lose at least 75 percent of its starting secondary, and with a very good chance it loses 100 percent of it, bringing in a top-notch defensive backs class in this cycle is arguably the most important need, right up there with quarterback (though there are several positions of big need to restock after this season).
