That was definitely the case, but he was pretty insistent on playing WR. This a smart move for him imo and to play with his younger bro in his hometown. Rooting for him to tear it up.

Awesome sauce. I will admit that I sort of forgot Lorenzo was on the squad when talking about Burke, Hancock and Davison (and Mathews/CSH). If he can provide quality depth this year, that would be huge...then next year maybe make that leap. He's got the physical ability and he really is at the position he is best suited for imo.

He was stated as one of the fastest on the team which is pretty unreal to me given his size (6’1 200). Couple that with him getting his black stripe off early and I think this kid is going to leave a mark this year.
Probably all on special teams this year but then next year at Corner. Next years secondary is going to be stupid with Davison, Hancock (I think he returns), Styles x 2, Stokes and Carter.

Dallan Hayden Among Several Non-Freshmen Who Could Redshirt for Ohio State This Season
Ryan Day said Tuesday that Dallan Hayden is likely in line to redshirt this season, and four other non-freshmen could be candidates to join him.
DALLAN HAYDEN AMONG SEVERAL NON-FRESHMEN WHO COULD REDSHIRT FOR OHIO STATE THIS SEASON
LORENZO STYLES JR., CB
Styles has been an obvious candidate to redshirt since he transferred to Ohio State this summer. He did not redshirt in either of his two seasons at Notre Dame, where he played regularly as a wide receiver, but is now in his first season as a cornerback at the collegiate level.It looked like Ohio State might tear up that redshirt plan when Styles played on the kickoff, kickoff return, punt and punt return units against Indiana. But he’s played in only one game since – against Notre Dame – and that’s certainly not because of performance, as Styles earned Ohio State’s special teams player of the game award for his play against the Hoosiers.
When asked in September if Styles would redshirt, Ohio State secondary coach Tim Walton said “we’re just trying to take it a week at a time and see how things play out.” He could potentially be called upon to play at cornerback if any of Ohio State’s top three cornerbacks miss time, and it’s also possible the Buckeyes could decide Styles offers enough value on special teams that they need him to play more than four times in that capacity this year.
So far, though, the Buckeyes are seemingly making a conscious decision to preserve Styles’ two remaining seasons of eligibility to give him the opportunity to compete for a bigger role on defense in 2024 and 2025.
