Swear I was thinking just this all season, he covers well enough to play safety but not sticky enough to play corner in this man to man scheme I'd give him a crack t safety as well as it's been proven that he definitely in not the next Roby.

Hey that's what the spring and the summer are for, Just based on the eye test I think it should end up like this: cb1 Okudah, cb2 Wade, cb3/nickel Sheffield or Riep, fs Fuller, ss Pryor or Arnette.
A lot of inexperience but also a lot of talent

Details, Discipline Will Take Damon Arnette ‘Over the Top’
Cornerback Damon Arnette played in every game last season for the Buckeyes, starting a dozen times. As a redshirt sophomore, he finished sixth on the team with 44 tackles. He led the Ohio State cornerbacks with two interceptions, three tackles for loss, and a forced fumble.
And yet you won’t hear anybody claiming that he is a finished product.
There is no such thing, after all.
He does have what many other cornerbacks do not, however.
“I’ll tell you what, the one thing Damon Arnette has is game experience,” OSU cornerbacks coach Taver Johnson said this spring. “He has game experience and you can’t take that away and he is a feisty competitor.
“A lot of the times out here I have to calm him down to make sure he doesn’t punch himself out, which you appreciate that because he cares so much. But he’s a guy we’re counting on, big time. And not just because he has game experience, but because he has talent and all of those other attributes that we need in order for him to have a really, really good season.”
No cornerback is perfect. They all give up catches to receivers. It’s part of the game. That’s why the old football adage says that cornerbacks have to have a short memory. They can’t lose time thinking about the catch they just gave up because they need to be ready for the next snap.
Johnson, however, wants to take it one step further. Especially with a guy like Arnette, who is known to get a little vocal out on the field.
“Yeah, that’s that part that we’ve been calming down because I actually started thinking about this more and more,” he said. “At our position, it’s not a short memory, you can’t have a memory at all. When something happens, you gotta forget about it immediately because it won’t matter the next play if they throw it over our heads.”

FIVE OHIO STATE PLAYERS WHO MIGHT BE OVERLOOKED ENTERING THE 2018 SEASON
DAMON ARNETTE, CB
With Sheffield being touted as Ohio State’s potential next first-round pick at cornerback and Okudah also expected to emerge as a star sooner than later, some believe Damon Arnette should be the odd man out of the Buckeyes’ starting lineup at cornerback. Arnette, though, is Ohio State’s most experienced cornerback, and he has the tools to potentially be a future pro as well.
Arnette’s play has been somewhat inconsistent in his first two playing seasons, but he’s shown playmaking ability, too, recording two interceptions, eight pass breakups, one forced fumble, three tackles for loss and 44 total tackles while starting 12 out of 14 games last season.
Possessing good size for the position at 6-foot and 195 pounds, Arnette is the best run defender among Ohio State’s cornerbacks, and he’s deserved more credit than he’s gotten for his play in pass coverage, as well. Even with Okudah expected to be in the rotation, Ohio State cornerbacks coach Taver Johnson has said he expects Arnette to start this season, and if he can continue to cut down on mistakes this year, he should join the many other Buckeye cornerbacks in recent years who have captured attention from NFL scouts.

Beer is God's proof that he loves us.
The Arnette injury looked scary last night, really hope he's okay. He is a player who is improving in increments this season - that ridiculous catch last night would have happened against any DB.

Not seeing it. Hope he’s getting good advice as he would benefit from another year.
