Matt Miller's Scouting Notebook: Jeff Okudah Is Top CB Talent Since Jalen RamseySince 2014, Ohio State has had at least one defensive back drafted every year. Most years they've had a first-rounder: 2014 (Bradley Roby), 2016 (Eli Apple), 2017 (Marshon Lattimore, Malik Hooker, Gareon Conley) and 2018 (Denzel Ward). But Okudah, a "mature, humble, hardworking" 6'1", 200-pound junior who flashed in his breakout 2018 season, has a chance to be the best of them all.
What makes Okudah so special? It's partially his athleticism and size, both of which are ideal for an outside cornerback who plays in man coverage. But one Ohio State staffer said he's "the most mature and self-motivated cornerback out of the recent ones" they've had. Mature and self-motivated are two words not often used to describe cornerbacks, who can be high-maintenance and attention-seeking.
"We're talking about a kid who enrolled early and was a scholar athlete as a true freshman," said the area scout. "At most schools he starts right away, but [Ohio State] had Denzel Ward and Kendall Sheffield in there. He's the most naturally gifted cornerback I've seen since Ramsey—but he's not going to worry you with his mouth."
Why did Holgorsen leave WVU in the first place? That should’ve been a red flag right there. Holgorsen a weird dude. AD got nobody to blame but himself, he hired him. Not a good look on the AD, seeing his hire get fired after 1 yearNah you hiring this cat thinking he gon produce and get his team ready but he cant so he punts on the season 4 games in for next year.
Thats some hoe shyt and its fukkin with the ability to do whatever fundraising Houston can do. How he sposed to sell boosters and alumni on this guy? Hes a quitter
He’s truly a complete corner. Solid tackler, and finally showing his ball skills this year on top of his blanket coverage.Not sure about being better than Marshon @smitty22
