COVIL A NASTY SAFETY
Flip on Sherrod Covil Jr.’s game film, and there’s one aspect of his game that instantly jumps out at you.
The dude is nasty, and the dude can hit.
If you remember back to one of our fall 2020 interviews with Ohio State linebacker commit C.J. Hicks, the five-star prospect marked down former Seattle Seahawks All-Pro safety Kam Chancellor as one of three NFL players who he watches highlights of and wants to emulate as a player – both in his final seasons at Alter High School and his Buckeye career.
“When (Chancellor) hits somebody, he would hit them so hard that he would say, ‘I’m tattooing that on them. I’m leaving that Bam on them,’” Hicks said. “I’m coming with that this year.”
In Covil, the Buckeyes have offered a 2022 safety who holds a lot of the same mentality that Hicks – who certainly
came with that during his junior season – did going into 2020.
“I am the hardest-hitting safety in high school,” a confident Covil told
Eleven Warriors in a recent interview. “I have speed, I move quickly in short spaces, and I have killer instincts that can’t be taught.”
Well, then.
“It comes from watching players like Kam Chancellor,” Covil said.
