Chrystal Ball

Jordan Hancock has an official visit to Ohio State coming up scheduled for late June. 247sports.com has Ohio State listed as a 100% lock to sign him in their crystal ball predictions. The NCAA has reached it's annual recruiting dead-period, and Hancock does not have any other official visits scheduled. It appears to be a mere formality that Jordan Hancock will be a Buckeye when 2021 rolls around. Jeremy Birmingham hosted Hancock on his Birminology podcast for Lettermen Row this past Monday for an interview.


"One of the things that stands out with you on tape is your technique at corner is a little bit advanced for someone your age. Where do you get that from? Does it come naturally or what? " Birmingham asked.
"I get it from my trainer Tim Jennings. He played in the NFL a lot of years and was a pro bowler. He also played for UGA so I get it from him because he is a smaller guy, so he put all of these nuances in it since I am a larger corner. So, that's who I get it from." Hancock explained.
"I was checking some things out, and noticed that 247sports had you listed as a safety in the early going. Why do you feel like your best suited to be on the outside and on an island?" Birmingham questioned.
"Because of my athleticism. Mainly because I am a longer corner and can play the jump ball really well.""What values are you looking for in a program that are most important to you?" The podcast host asked.
"Having a strong relationship with the coach I play for. The ability to be on the same page and make a connection in a short period of time. It's important that me and the coach can click on a different level." Hancock declared.

Ohio State 2021 Class

With the likelihood of Jordan Hancock committing to Ohio State reported at 100%, Brian Hartline and the Buckeye's are utterly dominating the 2021 recruiting class. Although Clemson has a good class and is trailing them with the No. 2 recruiting class, the gap seems to be growing wider by the day.
