Davison Igbinosun has the talent to be one of college football’s best cornerbacks in 2025, but he must improve drastically in one key area.

As one of Ohio State’s starting cornerbacks since 2023, Igbinosun has played a major role in Ohio State’s pass defense ranking in the top three nationally in each of the past two seasons. He’s also an excellent tackler and perimeter run defender who’s recorded 104 tackles in two years as a Buckeye. But there’s one glaring black mark on his résumé.

Igbinosun gained a reputation for being penalty-prone in 2023, when he led all Ohio State defenders with six penalties.
