Futures: Ohio State CB Jeff Okudah

Surprise, surprise: an Ohio State cornerback is set to be the first player at his position off the board in April. Though 2019 was a "down" year for the school in terms of producing cornerback talent, the Buckeyes have dominated the top of the draft over the past half-decade. Ohio State produced the first cornerback to be drafted in both 2017 (Marshon Lattimore) and 2018 (Denzel Ward), a feat no other school had accomplished since LSU had Patrick Peterson in 2011 and Morris Claiborne in 2012. Even in 2016, Eli Apple was the second cornerback off the board after Jalen Ramsey, who may very well have been the best cornerback prospect since Prime Time.
