Under the Radar CB Ryan Turner’s Film Catches Eye of Kerry Coombs and Matt Barnes, Buckeye DBs React to Barnes’ Promotion

Catching Coombs’ and Barnes’ attention

When Kerry Coombs flipped on the junior year film of Chaminade-Madonna Prep (Florida) cornerback Ryan Turner, the Buckeyes' defensive coordinator and cornerback recruiting guru didn't care about his ranking or his stars. (Turner is a three-star prospect ranked No. 561 overall, No. 55 at cornerback and No. 68 in the state of Florida's 2022 class.)

Coombs could immediately tell that Turner can play, and that was enough incentive for him to extend an Ohio State offer to the 6-foot, 180-pounder.
