The Ohio State Buckeyes may not have to fret too much when it comes to replacing one cornerback. Kendall Sheffield joins the Buckeyes after spending a season at Blinn College.

Sheffield originally signed with Alabama in 2015, taking a redshirt year before deciding to attend Blinn. At Blinn, he racked up 31 tackles, 11 pass breakups, two forced fumbles, two interceptions and a kickoff and a punt return for a touchdown.

Sheffield ranked third overall in the 2017 junior college recruiting class, first at the cornerback position, according to 247Sports. He chose the Buckeyes over USC, Texas A&M and TCU.

He’ll have two years of eligibility left on the football field, giving him ample time to find his way in the Buckeyes’ secondary. Sheffiled should prove to be a solid defensive back in the secondary next to highly-touted recruit Jeffrey Okudah as well.

The departures of Gareon Conley and Marshon Lattimore to the NFL Draft open up the door for Sheffield and Okudah to contribute right away.
