Jordan Hancock sees a silver lining in the hamstring injury that kept him out of the first six games of the 2022 season.

On one hand, the setback dashed what could have been a breakout campaign for the Ohio State cornerback, who received plenty of praise from the Buckeye coaching staff early in the offseason. On the other hand, it taught the Georgia native valuable lessons that he hopes will make his 2023 season even better than the previous year ever could have been.

“It was difficult, but it was really an eye-opening thing. Because maybe I needed to learn on stuff,” Hancock said in March.
