20 college football teams that already have 2015 instant impact recruits
For the national champions, there's a starting spot open across from star Ohio State defensive end Joey Bosa, and Saint Paul (Minn.) Cretin Derham Hall's Jashon Cornell may be the player to fill it. With a college-ready frame at 6'4 and 260 pounds, Cornell is the No. 8 strong-side defensive end and has a combination of ability at the point of attack and first step.

Lets Go!
Seriously, what the hell was Choke selling up there? How on earth could that lard ass convince elite football recruits that playing for him was the right decision? I'm glad Jashon, Burrell, and those other recruits came to their senses lol.

Jashon Cornell Found a Home on the Inside for the Buckeyes This Spring
Many kids go to college hoping for some type of existential self-discovery, and if they are lucky they will eventually find some kind of purpose that fulfills them.
Others simply go through the motions, happy to do what they believe they are supposed to do in order to continue down the path that has been set out before them.
As a blue-chip defensive end out of the state of Minnesota, Jashon Cornell's path was supposed to be as a defensive end. He was going to be a pass rusher who would live his football life on the edges, getting after quarterbacks like a heckler gone too far.
To reach this goal he could have gone anywhere in the country to play his desired position, and so he chose Ohio State.
He enrolled early in 2015, participating in winter conditioning and spring practice. Cornell played defensive end as a true freshman, but wasn't able to rise up the depth chart far enough to see the field and he ended up redshirting.
Heading into his senior year of high school, there were plenty of people who thought that his eventual position would be defensive tackle, and after just one spring practice at that position, it was clear that those people were correct.
Defensive line coach Larry Johnson moved Cornell inside and did so having a pretty good idea that it would be a decision that was beneficial to everyone.
"No question about it," Johnson said. "The first thing I look at when you take a guy from the outside to the inside, you bring his speed to the inside. The second question you ask, and Mick (Marotti) can do this better than I can, can that guy put on weight? Can his body hold 275 or 280? We think he can. He's 275 right now, so he's a guy that can hold the weight. Then you take a guy who has those kind of twitches on the inside, it's just really now teaching him how to fit blocks and get off blocks. Everything is there to do it. He's done a great job of handling it."

I think he looked unexpectedly great, good strength at the point of attack, good explosion for an inside guy and beat a double team although it was a half assed double but none the less it was a great effort... oh and als Dremont is a man!!!

Jashon looked outstanding out there and man did he get BIG! Really would be huge to have him play at that level, he will mostly definitely be an important part of our rotation if he plays like that.

So much depth along the DL. And remember, we do not have Hill in the rotation yet. Cornell really impressed and could emerge upon the scene similar to how Jones did last year. Our ability to rotate in fresh bodies without much, if any, drop off, is going to be a huge advantage as the season wears on.

Just rewatched the game and honestly, Cornell might have been the most impressive DL out there for the night period. Made the most of his time and flat out dominated. Our two starters are definitely Sprinkle and Jones, but Jashon likely earned himself a hell of a lot of PT. Also, considering how ginormous Jason is now, might want to change the thread title from DE to DT

You know what? Chicken butt.
Such a pleasant surprise no doubt. Honestly I'd kinda written him off so to see him actually look awesome was a complete 180. My bad.
