All the talk of Okudah and Wade, I think this kid is a dark horse starter or at least in the DB rotation next season

the thing I loved most about Amir at Colerain is that he is highly coachable.
He also is used to being coached hard.
I look forward to seeing continued upward growth.

You know what? Chicken butt.
Great thread to bump.
Agree, he’s easily forgotten in the one and done CB era these days around the WHAC but he’s the kind of guy you need for consistent depth and could easily be the next big thing.

Amir Riep Will Be Involved at Safety This Year for Buckeyes
Ohio State must replace two-year starter Damon Webb at free safety this season, and they may be doing it with junior Jordan Fuller, who was the starter at strong safety last year.
That may solve one problem, but it opens up another.
Five Buckeyes spent time this spring trying to fill Fuller’s open strong safety spot, but nobody completely succeeded.The need for depth and options was one of the reasons why sophomore Amir Riep made the move from cornerback to safety prior to the spring.
Riep came to Ohio State from Cincinnati Colerain, where he was the No. 26 cornerback in the 2017 recruiting class. Provided the move goes as expected, being a former cornerback makes him an ideal fit as a free safety in Ohio State’s defense.
“Amir Riep is a guy who moved over from corner,” safeties coach Alex Grinch said after spring ball. “Sometimes that transition is easy and sometimes it is hard, and a lot of times it’s somewhere in the middle.”
For Riep, things went pretty well. He showed his coaches much of what they wanted to see. The only thing missing is the experience required to emerge as a mature leader in the secondary.
“I think he probably exceeded our expectations in terms of that transition both from a mental standpoint and the things he was capable of doing athletically and physically at the safety spot,” Grinch said. “I think he’s where he should be.”
