Tim Walton believes Lorenzo Styles has both the physical skills and mental makeup to make a smooth transition to cornerback at Ohio State after playing wide receiver at Notre Dame.
It won’t become clear until preseason camp begins whether Lorenzo Styles can contribute immediately in Ohio State’s secondary this season. But Tim Walton doesn’t expect Styles’ transition to his new position to be too difficult.
Walton confirmed last month that the plan is for Styles to be an outside cornerback at Ohio State. While it’s not out of the question that Styles could also be an option at nickel or another safety position down the line, considering he has enough size to play anywhere in the secondary at 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, he’ll focus on playing cornerback as he starts his OSU career.
“He's a mature guy that works hard, has a good brain on his shoulders. Good size, good speed. Obviously has the genes, and man, loves to play football,” Walton said. “He's strong. He can run. He’s physical. He's 195 pounds, so you’re talking about a guy that has good size. He's played the game. He's mature. He has the knowledge.
While Walton was coaching in the NFL when Styles was a high school recruit, he’s been familiar with Styles for a long time because he played at Ohio State with Styles’ father, also named Lorenzo Styles. That gave Walton reason to believe that Styles would be a good fit for the Buckeyes, and he says Styles has done all the right things since arriving at Ohio State.
“He's a great athlete. Always was in high school. I thought he was a heck of a player,” Hartline said. “I don't want to speak on it for him, but I felt like coming out of high school, he was a good athlete. I may have told him, I thought his best position was corner. So I know it's always tough finding the path and believing in what you want to do and then maybe switching; I can only guess how hard that would be. But I'm really excited he's back.
