He could but if he can progress he will be in line to take Conley's spot in 2017, assuming he goes pro.
Smith and Hooker are projected to start at safety, and Fuller is probably coming in as a safety. Hopefully both wades (not the one you stand with) sign next year and bolster the cb depth along with Williamson (I'm not even going to speak openly about Darna... almost jinxed it).
It seems like Lattimore is best suited at corner, both in terms of opportunity and his skill set.

You know what? Chicken butt.
11 Warriors had a piece yesterday about DW and ML battling for the staring corner spot and it showed a pic of them both walking off the field. Holy cow, DW is all arms. Dude has some of the longest arms I've seen for his size. And if he's the fastest guy on the team? Mercy. Those sure seems like some great tools for a CB.

I just imagine Andrews showing up for treatment today and kicking the shit out of Mayfield for getting him killed. Over. And over. And over again.

Props to that kid, he stuck around and caught a TD after getting blown up a couple times.
Hope he remembers he did that.

Our church has no bells.
Great hit, perfectly placed and with the shoulder. However, he was close to the line for taunting afterward and I thought we might get flagged. The best thing to do after knocking the hell out of someone is to act like it's no big deal and that you'll be back. That really gets in their heads.

What a hit, love the way he plays. Thought he would be a pure speedster but I am very surprised how physical he plays. And I do wonder if Andrews recalls that he had an Ohio State offer.

IS OHIO STATE CORNERBACK DENZEL WARD AS GOOD AS MARSHON LATTIMORE, GAREON CONLEY? HIS POSITION COACH THINKS SO
Denzel Ward is a man of few words.
Ask any kind of question to the Ohio State cornerback and you’ll be fortunate to get a complete sentence as a response. It’s not intended to be disrespectful; that’s just the way Ward is. He’s quiet, soft-spoken and rather humble. At least in a media setting, anyway.
Ward’s position coach, Kerry Coombs, is, well, quite the opposite.
Coombs is a loud, fast-talking, confident assistant coach who, frankly, has earned the right to be just that. The Buckeyes are currently pumping out first-round NFL Draft picks at cornerback at an alarming rate and Coombs is the man responsible for both recruiting and developing those players.
So, if you ask Ward how good he is you get this response: “I thought I did a pretty good job [last year]. I’ve still got a lot of things to work on.”
Ask Coombs about the talented junior cornerback, however, and there is a bit of a different feel.
“I’m telling you [Ward is] as good as the other two,” Coombs said Thursday after Ohio State’s seventh practice of the spring. “He doesn’t have to say it. I’m telling you that. I think he believes it, he just doesn’t have to say it.”
The “other two” in this case are Marshon Lattimore and Gareon Conley, the dynamic duo of Buckeye cornerbacks from the 2016 season who are likely first-round picks in next month’s NFL Draft. They earned the majority of the headlines last season for their on-field performance, but Ward played just as many snaps as Ohio State used a three-man rotation. Coombs said the production between all three was nearly identical.
Lattimore and Conley each had four interceptions last season while Ward had zero, but each had seven passes defended, according to CFB Film Room, and the completion percentages against were all similar. Lattimore allowed 13 completions on 36 targets (36.1 percent); Conley allowed 14 completions on 43 targets (32.6 percent); Ward allowed 15 completions on 42 targets (35.7 percent). Ward did not allow a touchdown in coverage; Lattimore and Conley each allowed just one.
“[Ward is] as good as the other two. I played three guys of equally talented ability,” Coombs said. “I don’t run out a guy who is not as good as they other guys. Who would do that? Have you met my boss?”
