I think the consensus among both the talking heads and us armchair coordinators is that this Ohio State team will be quite stout in most phases of the game next year with their lone giant question mark being the defensive secondary. Even if Shaun Wade decides to come back, we still have to find a starting outside corner, a slot CB, and a free safety.

Anyone have any info regarding potential replacements and fill-ins?

I had high hopes for Tyreke Johnson to seize that first CB spot off the bench with his outstanding physical attributes, but apparently, that hasn't yet been the case: https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2019/12/110339/ohio-s...

Josh Proctor has both flashed and looked completely lost at times in key moments of key games, while Amir Riep and Sevyn Banks have had up and down moments when filling in for their respective starters. Cam Brown looked serviceable in his limited time, but this was against Indiana (with their backup QB in) and Michigan State, who haven't exactly been passing juggernauts.

Anybody have any additional info on this untested group? Should we all be pitching tents outside Kerry Coombs' Nashville house and going on a hunger strike until Coach Red Bull comes back home?
