I too am gonna jump on the Howard bandwagon for next year and the rest of his career. I think he's very talented, and could easily become our next great corner. Not to mention, he could also potentially add another name to the long list of Cornerback U's history, and open up a whole nother debate in future years.

I hate to quote Al Gore, but the debate's over :biggrin: I'm looking forward to seeing what Travis can do this year. He has had a year to go up against some pretty darn good WR's in practice, now it is time for him to show his stuff on the grand stage. Not only can he become the next great corner here, but the next Florida star to excel in the S&G.

OSU notebook: Sophomore corner leads depth charge
Monday, August 16, 2010
By Tim May
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Sophomore Travis Howard has been the first to surface in the scramble on the Ohio State depth chart below starting cornerbacks Chimdi Chekwa and Devon Torrence.

"Travis Howard is definitely a guy that we really like, that has come along the most," cornerbacks coach Taver Johnson said. "But after that, I couldn't give you a definite answer."

A glimpse into the pecking order came late last week. With Torrence out because of a slightly strained hamstring, Howard worked with the first unit opposite Chekwa. Junior Donnie Evege and freshman Dominic Clarke are in the mix, as is redshirt freshman Corey Brown.

The way hamstring injuries go, Torrence could be back soon or it could linger. What's important, Johnson said, is that Howard has made noticeable improvement in several areas from the end of last season.

"Just paying attention to detail, and understanding exactly what he's supposed to do and where his help is and where to be," Johnson said. "That's half of it. And just gaining experience - the more you practice, the more experience you gain."

While the competition continues, Johnson said his advice is the same to all of those vying for an upgrade in their seeding. It's having them "understand, 'Hey, we want to play you. Give us a reason to,'" Johnson said.

CB Travis Howard: The only non-starter on this list, Howard is a redshirt sophomore and the clear No. 3 corner behind senior starters Chimdi Chekwa and Devon Torrence. They both battled injuries during he preseason, so it's not unreasonable to expect Howard will start at least a couple games as an injury replacement sometime this season. If that happens, the Buckeyes may not see much of a drop off.

"This is one of the first years I actually put in a lot of work," Howard, who also has battled injuries in the past, said early in camp. "I've doing a lot of extra work and I feel I'm in the best health I've been in."

On the injury front

Even though the score indicated a blowout, some hitting was going on. Four Buckeyes - Devon Torrence, Travis Howard, Donnie Evege and Dorian Bell - needed attention on the field from the trainers. Coach Jim Tressel indicated the one player they were concerned about was Howard, who appeared to suffer a left shoulder injury while covering a kickoff late in the first half.

Yeah Travis has worked his way into the lineup and showed up in a big way today. Now the question is, who will the other starting corner be next season? :)

He's got great hands and isn't afraid to get physical, even after getting banged up pretty good midseason. I like his future!
