Former Ohio State star Chimdi Chekwa impressed with multiple Buckeye defenders

It’s pretty normal for former Ohio State stars to get an invite to spring practice and come back “home.” One of those players who got that opportunity was former All-American cornerback, Chimdi Chekwa.

The Buckeyes held a scrimmage yesterday and Chekwa was on hand with his family to watch the action. It’s always interesting to see who they see as standouts. It should come as no surprise that the star defender kept a close eye on what was happening on that side of the ball.

Chekwa tweeted out that Ohio State has plenty of work to do but multiple players stood out to him, cornerbacks davison igbinosun and Ryan Turner, along with defensive end Kenyatta Jackson.

It’s great to hear that the cornerbacks stood out, especially given their struggles. Igbinosun, the transfer, is already getting rave reviews from multiple sources. Hearing that Jackson is taking the next step is big, especially with Zach Harrison Jr. moving on to the next level. Turner hasn’t created much buzz, but impressing the former All-American at his position is good news.
