FIVE FORMER FIVE-STAR RECRUITS SET FOR FIRST MEANINGFUL PLAYING TIME THIS SEASON

JASHON CORNELL – 2015 CLASS – DE

37269796171_1626ff8900_o.jpg


Five-star defensive end Jashon Cornell committed to Ohio State on the same day as Justin Hilliard, on a day we like to call 10-Star Wednesday. Though he did lose his fifth star and was a four-star prospect at the time of his arrival, he's included on this list because he was a five-star player at the time of his commitment and was one of the top players in the 2015 class.

With the depth the Buckeyes had at the defensive end position, Cornell made the switch to defensive tackle, but like Hilliard, he's had to battle injuries during his time in Columbus.

With a redshirt season his first year and an injury his sophomore season, Cornell never really got going until his junior year, and even then he played only a backup role, finishing the season with just 14 tackles and 3.5 tackles for a loss.

Cornell is now moving back to defensive end – a position he says is most natural to him – to help add depth to the team after three defensive ends left for the NFL. He's unlikely to start, as Nick Bosa and Chase Young have presumably earned those spots, but he'll most certainly play meaningful minutes as Larry Johnson loves to rotate players.

Kind on unreal that I keep forgetting about Jashon...had some "wow" moments out there last year that made you think Cornell could be an impact guy more regularly. Hoping for a huge senior year.

Shows how crazy recruiting a HSer, translates into that former recruit being a major cog in an elite D1 program. Cornell was a 5star DE, and at one time the #1 overall recruit, now we're just hoping for one decent season as a rotational player... Not trying to knock him, but just shows how anything can happen from a kid being recruited to getting in the college system. Hope for the best for him next season. If he has a good to above average seasons than that means our DL is doing a great job

‘Now’s the Time’ for Jashon Cornell to Step Up

Jashon-Cornell-Tulane.jpg


Ohio State defensive end Jashon Cornell dealt with injuries for much of his first three years, and now that he is healthy, the Buckeyes need him to step up this week for a defensive line that is riddled with injuries of its own.

All-American Nick Bosa is out and junior Jonathon Cooper is questionable as he goes through concussion protocol. Defensive tackles Robert Landers and Dre’Mont Jones have been playing hurt for a couple of weeks now, and a veteran presence like Cornell’s is a necessity.

“Very intelligent guy. Great person. We need a little more out of him,” Urban Meyer said on his radio show Thursday. “He’s a guy that has talent. Obviously with some banged up players, we need him to become the player that we all want him to be and that he wants to be. I see it coming and right now’s the time.”

Cornell’s playing time has increased since Bosa’s injury, and even though it was sophomore defensive end Chase Young who got the credit for the game-winning stop against Penn State, it was Cornell who occupied an offensive linemen who was then unable to block Young, who was coming around on the stunt.

Despite all of the injuries, Cornell said the demeanor and disposition in the defensive line room hasn’t changed a bit. No one is moping and there is no “woe is me.”

“We’re still coming into the room and everybody’s happy,” he said. “It’s next guy up. If one guy is down, the next guy has to be prepared. That’s what we work for each and every day.”

There was certainly a bit of a down turn upon losing Bosa, and for good reason. But the mindset eventually takes over regardless of the player.

“It’s Nick Bosa. No one can replace Nick,” Cornell said.

“We learn in the d-line room that once one man goes down, two men have to step up and pick up the production for that one man. It doesn’t matter who that man is. When that one man goes down, two men have to step up.”

JASHON CORNELL MOVED BACK INSIDE TO DEFENSIVE TACKLE DUE TO COMFORTABILITY, OPPORTUNITY

A return to defensive end from defensive tackle last spring appeared to make complete sense for Jashon Cornell.

Larry Johnson moved him inside to play 3-technique early in his Ohio State career. But before then, he had gained notoriety off the edge. At Cretin-Derham Hall High School, he developed into the top-rated recruit in the state of Minnesota while playing defensive end. Cornell was rated as a top-100 overall prospect and the seventh-best strong-side defensive end on the class of 2015.

The combination of a lack of depth at defensive end, the need to get Dre’Mont Jones on the field as much as possible at defensive tackle and Cornell having years of experience playing outside contributed to his move back to end.

“Rushing off the edge, it feels like what I’ve done my whole life,” he said last spring.

The shift outside only lasted one season.

As he prepares for his fifth and final collegiate season, Cornell has once again made a position change, sliding back inside to defensive tackle. Last year, he became a defensive end to help the team at a position lacking depth, answering the call from Johnson who needed his size and experience off the edge.

This time, though, Cornell brought the idea of playing 3-technique to Johnson’s attention.

“I had a feeling that toward the end of the season when Dre'Mont was leaving that I wanted to move back to 3-tech because I feel more natural at the position,” Cornell said. “I knew for awhile that I was going to have a conversation with him about it, but I knew that I wanted to go back to 3-technique.”

Johnson agreed with the idea, telling Cornell he had considered it, too.

“We both were thinking the same thing,” Cornell said.

The opportunity at 3-technique certainly intrigued Cornell. At defensive end, Chase Young and Jonathon Cooper are essentially locked in as starters, but no one has a clear edge at Jones’ former position.

“THEY WON'T SEE MOST 3-TECHS LIKE ME BECAUSE I'M SO TWITCHED UP AND SO FAST OFF THE LINE. IT GIVES ME A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS. I CAN FIT THE RUN FASTER. I CAN GO INSIDE. I CAN DO DIFFERENT TYPES OF PASS RUSH. IT JUST HELPS ME A LOT MORE.”– JASHON CORNELL

With Jones heading to the NFL, Haskell Garrett and Taron Vincent are also in the mix to start at 3-technique. Neither of them have started a game before, though, and Cornell played more snaps at defensive end than Garrett and Vincent had combined at defensive tackle last season.

“Now, since Dre'Mont's gone, it's pretty much open to me, Taron or Haskell, whoever wants to step up and take the position,” Cornell said. “That's what we've all been doing all spring is pretty much competing ever day at practice. One day, Taron would do great, one day Haskell will do great, I'll do great, and it's like we're always competing, which makes it more fun because you can't take a day off.”

Johnson said Cornell, Vincent and Garrett are “all going to play,” though at some point there will undoubtedly be a hierarchy of players taking snaps at 3-technique.

While a potential starting job interests Cornell, his excitement about playing defensive tackle mostly stems from him viewing it as a better fit for his skillset as a 6-foot-3, 280-pound lineman.

“I feel so much more comfortable inside,” Cornell said.

Why?

“I don't know, because I played defensive end my whole life and then I moved to 3-technique,” Cornell said. “I think I fell in love with 3-technique just because the things that I can do at 3-technique.”

Jones showcased the production that can come from high-level defensive tackles last season. He racked up 43 tackles, including 13 tackles for loss, and had nine sacks from the interior of the line, taking advantage of his quickness and hand-fighting skills.

Last year, Cornell had just one sack and two tackles for loss in 262 snaps, most of which came at defensive end.

“My pass-rush ability inside is so much better than my pass-rush ability outside,” Cornell said. “I can still rush outside, but I feel like inside I'm a quick-twitch guy, so I can do whatever I want to the offensive guard. And I'm pretty strong, too, so I can get more power, I can get a pass rush, I can get pretty much anything.”

Cornell, along with Garrett and Vincent, have sizable shoes to fill. Jones was a first-team All-Big Ten honoree last season, and College Football News named him a first-team All-American. He’ll likely be chosen in the first three rounds of the NFL draft in April.

But Cornell, reinvigorated with his switch back to 3-technique, has no doubts he’ll be able to impact games from the interior.

“They won't see most 3-techs like me because I'm so twitched up and so fast off the line,” Cornell said. “It gives me a lot of different things. I can fit the run faster. I can go inside. I can do different types of pass rush. It just helps me a lot more.”

It’s essentially a guarantee the guy isn’t going to get any national recognition or anything of the like but he’s a big problem for interior lines. Guy doesn’t get moved at all and reads/penetrated so quickly.
