247 national Texas insider Mike Roach has Ohio State as the leader for Taelyn Mayo.
LSU, Ohio State, Texas A&M and Oklahoma are the schools to watch at the moment, but we're told that Ohio State holds the edge for Mayo. The Buckeyes have been talked about as a favorite for Mayo for quite a while, and they've been aggressive in their pursuit.

That's incredibly tall for a CB. To the point the height works against you.

That said, I do love some taller, on ball CB play.

Yeah very few CBs excel being that tall(Sherman, Browner, Woolen). But if he can still keep his hips loose and stay low and not lose speed or athleticism at that size, then you have something very special

There are ways you can structure certain coverages to protect tall corners. A lot of what Seattle does is a great example. Their Trix call let's at least 1 corner sit in MOD to cap fades and/or any MRO tags.

They have another that was used in the Superbowl, the zero tag sim pressure with that allows outside align even in MEG.

I have complete confidence in Coach Pat to play tall corners to their strength.
