MALIK HOOKER PROBABLY WON'T PLAY OFFENSE FOR OHIO STATE BUT IT'S STILL FUN TO TALK ABOUT
Malik Hooker intercepts a pass, and the thought runs through Urban Meyer’s head.
“I see the same thing, man,” Ohio State's head coach says. “Every time I watch him, I’m going to flip him over on offense and pitch it to him a couple of times.”
So, Malik Hooker, two-way star?
It’s probably not going to happen. Let’s start there. Meyer, co-defensive coordinator Luke Fickell and a few players all said Monday they like where Hooker is at safety. The plan, for now, is for him to stay there.
But that doesn’t mean it’s not fun to discuss, so let’s do that.
Hooker has five interceptions in nine games this season — a number that leads the Big Ten and is tied for second nationally. Two of those picks have been returned for touchdowns and the latest came in the third quarter of Ohio State’s 62-3 pasting of Nebraska on Saturday night.
The way he weaves in and out of traffic after picking off a pass is unique, and he certainly looks like a natural with the ball in his hands. But playing him on offense?
“Nah, he’s good where he’s at,” Buckeyes quarterback J.T. Barrett said. “I know where you’re going, but he’s good at DB. I think that’s where he’s the best for us.”
“Malik, he’s never come to me saying he wants to play offense, but I would probably shut that down really quick.”
