Is Jaylen McClain positioned to become the upcoming talent in Ohio State’s safety group?
Ohio State’s safety depth chart currently includes Ja’Had Cater, Lathan Ransom, Sonny Styles, Jayden Bonsu, Malik Hartford, Cedrick Hawkins, and Leroy Roker. Beyond the 2024 season, Carter, Ransom, and Styles may no longer be part of the team, leaving room for Jaylen McClain to potentially step in and address the position needs.
Coach Ryan Day acknowledged McClain’s impressive performance, highlighting his successful high school career and particularly strong senior year. Day emphasized that McClain, having had a great year and contributing to his team’s success, could play a crucial role in filling the potential gap in the safety position next year.
