OSU football: Jarrick Bernard-Converse, Christian Holmes offer good choices at vacant cornerback position

STILLWATER — At the end of last season, Jim Knowles didn’t know who was going to play cornerback opposite Rodarius Williams, because A.J. Green was graduating.

Now, Knowles doesn’t know who’s going to play that spot, because two players have proven themselves worthy of the job.

Knowles, in his third season as Oklahoma State’s defensive coordinator, was working in the spring to figure out how best to fill the only vacant starting position on his defense.

He moved Jarrick Bernard-Converse from the cover safety position to cornerback for spring camp, which was virtually wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic.
