Ohio State is THE Cornerback U!

we've only had one DB in recent memory get heisman talk

haha nothing beats those t-shirts from the 2002 season
"Bust a McNutt"

Jenkins is playing fantastic this year. He is showing first hand why we are among the top univeristy to put so many DB's and defenders in the pro's consistantly. I would say Jenkins, Wilson, Boone and Wells have been the biggest contribution from the 2005 recruiting class thus far. I cant tell but should OSU be taking the reigns as "Linebacker U" from PSU or maybe "DB U"??

Correction on your chart, Jwin... Combs was a TB at OSU. (Was a CB/Rb recruit, but ended up playing TB)

That's nice, but he was drafted as a DB, so you lose :) Here are his stats if you need them

I thought Jenkins was talented, but I had no idea he would contribute or even start as a true freshman. Great to see!

 

[scarletngrey11]

With how well Jenkins is playing now as a true freshman, imagine how great of a corner he will be when he graduates four years from now!

The thread is about OSU DB's though, not OSU RB's drafted as DB's or even OSU QB's who got looks at Safety by the Rams...... I win again

jwinslow is right, they even had Combs as a DB in NFL Europe last season. IIRC, he was sent home because of attitude problems and eventually ended up being cut.

I agree that Jenkins has been impressive.

I don't think anyone said Jwin was wrong about Combs post OSU career.

 

[jwinslow]

if a kid gets drafted as a DB, then that is a DB we produced. Not sure you can whine your way out of this one, BKB.

Thinking back, and maybe I'm actually starting in the wrong place, but thinking back, when Shawn Springs came, he set in motion a string of DB's that has been un-real for the last 10 years. (That's not to say OSU never had great DB's before, just that for the last 10, they've been incredible)

Springs, Howard (Under appreciated),Plummer, Winfield, Clements, Fox and Gamble.....

Now Yobouty... soon Jenkins .... Amos???

See anything about the NFL?? Nope.

 

[jwinslow]

Springs ushered an era of 14 DBs drafted in 8 years. Salley (& Youboty?) will be drafted next year. Jenkins definitely has the potential to be drafted. I think Whitner has to be taken with all of the impact plays he makes.

See anything in my statement quoting your almight, thread dominating post? no

So, you admit to trying to hi-jack my thread?

 

[jwinslow]

no, I made it useful Reminiscing about favorite players is nice, but being able to trash talk UM fans who think they put lots of DBs in the league is much more valuable information. Their 5 DBs will shut up any boasts when compared with our 15 in that same span.

Noble cause. Very well, as you were.

So far he is definitely the "good news/surprise player" out of last years recruitment class. It is interesting that he only had a 3 star rating and was projected to play safety.
