I do too, I'm just including a detail from his recruitment that backed up our offer. Miami's the only school out there that can compete, as they've had a ton of 1st rounders lately, but we've been doing it longer.

Football: That's what we get for guessing about the defensive depth chart.​

​
According to Donte Whitner, freshman defensive back Jamario O'Neal has been moved from cornerback to safety and is sharing reps with Brandon Mitchell as OSU's number one nickel back. The move is apparently made possible by the emergence of fellow incoming freshman Malcolm Jenkins as a playmaking cover corner.​

Tuesday, August 23: Practice 17 (Pads)

The one person, who at the end of the day when we ask ourselves who stood out, is Malcolm Jenkins. He continues to improve daily and is continuously making plays or he is in proper position to make plays.


Monday, August 29: Miami Practice #1 (Shells)

On defense, Tyler Everett spends a lot of time helping Malcolm Jenkins and Andre Amos.

Tuesday, August 9: Practice 2 (Helmets)

This summer, some of the kids would come in after 7 on 7 when they were working on their own, and mention that Malcolm was very, very impressive. Even Monday, Donte Whitner came into my office after practice and said, "Coach, that #2 is a player." I still feel we have to reserve judgment until we get the pads on.


Monday, August 8: First Practice

Practice 1 was a helmets only practice which allowed us to notice the speed on the field at the skilled positions. The one position which really stood out was the speed of our young DB's. Malcolm Jenkins (Fr - Piscataway HS, Piscataway, NJ ) Andre Amos (Middletown HS, Middletown, OH), Donald Washington (Fr - Franklin Central HS, Indianapolis, IN ), and Russell Anderson ( Fr- Marist HS Atlanta, GA) all made plays and showed excellent reaction skills.

Agreed with a big shout out to Mel Tucker for recognizing him at camp and singling him out to JT for an offer. Man I am going to miss that guy. Lets hope the combo of Haynes and Beckmen is greater than Tucker which is a huge task.

Per the Ozone...

First Blush: A number of freshmen saw their first action as Buckeyes in the Miami game. Linebacker James Laurinaitis, defensive backs Malcolm Jenkins and Jamario O'Neal, running back Maurice Wells, offensive lineman Alex Boone, defensive end Lawrence Wilson and wide receiver Brian Robiske all played against Miami. According to both Jenkins and Wells, the experience was awesome.

"It was much more than I thought it would be," said Jenkins.

"I thought I would be able to go out there and not think about the crowd, but at first it was really getting to me. I was looking up at the crowd and things like that. It was amazing. It was real fun. I'm glad I chose to come here. I'm ready to do it again."

Jenkins was called upon early in the game when starting corner back Tyler Everett came out of the game temporarily when he had a problem with his contacts.

"I didn't quite expect to get in that soon, but I was ready," said Jenkiins.
"They told me I was going to get some snaps. I was surprised but I wasn't caught off balance. When I first heard my name being called I was a little nervous but once I stepped on the field I knew I had a responsibility, so I just focused and locked in on what I had to do," he said.​

This guy is going to be great. Watching him turn on the jets and catch that Texas WR (Pittman?) from behind to prevent a long TD was something to watch! Especially considering that the Texas WR was supposed to be a burner. Combine that kind of speed with the instincts and technique we hear about in practice, and we've got the next great CB at Cornerback U! Yet another example of Tucker and JT being able to evaluate DB's better than most coaches in College FB.

Welcome again, Malcolm! :osu:

He had a great game today, hes a very physical cornerback and solid tackler. It's great for him to get so much playing time this early in the season, so that later in the season he will be a much bigger factor on our already stiff defense.
