[Buckskin86]

Harlen Jacobs is one of the fastest and most athletic players on the Buckeyes and will compete for time at CB in 2003. Jacobs got to see a little action in 2002 as he registered six tackles. Jacobs came to OSU in 2000 as a sleeper prospect out of Douglass High School in Atlanta as a bit of a surprise addition; he was set to sign with LSU, but OSU offered at the last minute, and he elected to sign with the Buckeyes instead. He is majoring in Human Development and Family Science. (Photo copyright Getty Images)
