After going through “good growing pains” as a freshman, Jordan Hancock is still looking to improve every day as he moves toward earning a spot in Ohio State’s cornerback rotation.
While he didn’t play much as a true freshman last year, Jordan Hancock looks poised to play a bigger role in Ohio State’s secondary this year., which came over the course of three consecutive blowout wins over Akron, Rutgers and Maryland. Otherwise, Hancock played only on special teams as Denzel Burke, Cameron Brown, Sevyn Banks, Ryan Watts, Lejond Cavazos and Demario McCall played most of the snaps at cornerback.and No.
Although Hancock was buried on the cornerback depth chart as a freshman, it became clear by the end of the year the Buckeyes don’t expect him to be a benchwarmer for long. If they did, they wouldn’t have played him on special teams in all of the season’s final three games, burning a year of eligibility rather than preserving his redshirt.
Hancock has received plenty of praise from his Ohio State coaches and teammates since late last season, with Ryan Day describing him and fellow second-year cornerback Jakailin Johnson as two of the Buckeyes’ most improved players this offseason. “I had to follow like the No. 1 receiver every game and we didn't really run any safety over the top,” Hancock said. “So they kind of they kind of just threw me in the fire, and I feel like I'm used to that now.”
Assuming he is in the cornerback rotation this fall, Hancock believes he can be a difference-maker on the back end of the Buckeyes’ defense. He expects to make interceptions and pass breakups in coverage and be an impactful tackler.How much playing time he will see if he is Ohio State’s No. 3 cornerback this fall remains uncertain.
Now a full year into his development at Ohio State, Hancock believes he is “perfectly” on track to get to where he ultimately wants to be as a Buckeye. He says he’s already making far less mistakes in practice now than he was as a freshman last fall.
