Perry Eliano Senses Increased Comfort Level With Safeties And Lathan Ransom Says Spring Practices Are “The Hardest They've Been”

With Jim Knowles back as defensive coordinator and Perry Eliano entering his second year as OSU safeties coach, the Buckeye secondary has some much-needed continuity entering 2023.

During an interview session with media members after spring practice at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center Thursday, Eliano said there's "absolutely" an increased comfort level with his position room after learning the ropes under a new regime last season. Eliano also discussed the trajectory and development of many of his safeties and broke down what he wants to see from the unit in the coming year.

Beyond Eliano, Buckeye safeties Lathan Ransom, Josh Proctor, Sonny Styles, Ja'Had Carter and Cameron Martinez were all available to the media on Thursday.
