While there were will be plenty of highlight reels highlighting the positives of Ohio State football players in the months leading up to the 2018 NFL draft, one highlight reel that Buckeyes fans won't want to see is that of Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson.

Jackson, who made his name for himself against the Buckeyes when he intercepted three passes in the Hawkeyes' stunning upset over Ohio State, announced Wednesday that he is declaring for early entry into the 2018 draft.

Now, Jackson is set to compete with Ohio State once again, as he and Denzel Ward are projected to be the first two cornerbacks selected in the 2018 NFL draft.

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller ranks Jackson one spot ahead of Ward on his big board, as the 19th- and 20th-best overall prospects in the draft class, but ESPN's Todd McShay believes Ward is the draft's best prospect at his position.
