WHAT JACOLBE COWAN’S COMMITMENT MEANS FOR OHIO STATE’S 2020 RECRUITING CLASS
Finding the right fit for your college football program isn't just about what happens on the field, but off it as well. Today, Ohio State added a key piece. How will that commitment impact the Buckeyes?
Ohio State earned the commitment of four-star defensive lineman Jacolbe Cowan on Friday night, with the Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day star choosing the Buckeyes over Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Oregon.
Cowan is ranked as the No. 165 overall recruit in the country, the No. 15 defensive tackle nationally and the No. 7 prospect out of North Carolina.
Let’s take a look at how Cowan will impact the Buckeyes’ 2020 recruiting class.
ON THE FIELD
Cowan’s biggest strength he brings to Larry Johnson’s table is versatility, as he is able to play on the interior as a defensive tackle or on the outside as a tough, sturdy defensive end.
His best attribute comes as a run-stopper who holds his ground, able to use his strength, consistent handwork and long arms to shed blocks before barreling his body into runners and finishing the tackle.
He doesn’t look like an above-average athlete, but he still moves really well for a 6-foot-5, 262-pound lineman. He probably won’t make much of an impact as a freshman and may need time to develop his body — all of the Buckeyes’ current defensive tackles on their current depth chart are sophomores or older and weigh at least 285 pounds.
He's similar to Jashon Cornell, who was a 260-pound strongside defensive end out of high school but is now a 285-pound defensive tackle starting for the Buckeyes.
So Cowan will need to work with Mickey Marotti to add about 20-25 pounds over the next year or two before becoming a consistent contributor on the interior, but with Marotti's strong reputation, that should almost be an after-thought. He'll get up to the right weight by the time Year 2 rolls around.
