Lejond Cavazos didn’t play cornerback until his final year of high school, but a number of the nation’s top schools saw enough well before then to believe he could make the transition from safety. Ohio State, Alabama, Florida, LSU, Texas, Michigan, and dozens of others had thrown their hats into the ring because the projection was easy to make. Part of their belief was…
Every year following Ohio State spring football we recap what happened position by position. Who stepped up, who stepped back, what got fixed, and what didn’t? With 12 of the 15 spring practices cancelled due to the pandemic, however, essentially nothing happened, nothing got fixed, nobody stepped up, and no questions got answered.

Classes are now underway at Ohio State, which means the freshmen football players who have enrolled early are now moved in and getting their first taste of being a college student.

Less than 12 hours after Urban Meyer announced his retirement as Ohio State head coach on December 4, 4-star IMG defensive back Lejond Cavazos announced that he was decommitting from OSU. Now, a few months later, Cavazos has announced his final grouping, as well as a commitment date of Friday April 12.
