Names to Know: New Defensive Back Board Coming Together Following Memorable 2017 Haul

The 2017 recruiting class was headlined by the six defensive backs that Greg Schiano and Urban Meyer will have at their disposal for the upcoming season.

Jeffrey Okudah and Shaun Wade were both five-stars while Kendall Sheffield – a former five-star for the 2015 class – was the nation's top JUCO corner. Outside of that trio, Isaiah Pryor, Marcus Williamson, and Amir Riep were all four-stars in their own right.

Perhaps even better news is that Riep is the lone defensive back who isn't already on campus and working out with the Buckeyes. After losing three starters to the NFL, the early arrivals are certainly a welcome addition to the spring roster.
