OSU's RBs drafted
Quinshon Judkins stays in Ohio with the Browns and TreVeyon Henderson gets drafted by the Patriots.
The expectations surrounding Sevyn Banks entering the 2021 season continue to grow.
Banks, who's expected to be Ohio State's No. 1 cornerback this season, was one of 40 defensive backs named Monday to the Jim Thorpe Award watch list.
Entering his second year as a starter in the Buckeyes' secondary, Banks has been projected as a potential first-round pick for the 2022 NFL draft. In his first three seasons as a Buckeye, Banks has recorded 35 total tackles, 10 pass breakups, two interceptions, one fumble return for a touchdown and one punt block return for a touchdown.
Ohio State needs Banks to live up to the hype and provide consistent coverage on the perimeter as it looks to bounce back from a 2020 season in which it had one of the worst pass defenses in the country, allowing 304 yards per game.
