promising Ohio safety still waiting for his first big sample
Carson Canning is a 5-foot-10, 189-pound safety from Avon, Ohio, who arrived at Ohio as a freshman and did not see game action in the 2024 season, so the biggest story right now is projection rather than production. He looks like a depth-building, development-first defensive back: local roots, solid frame for the position, and a profile that suggests upside if he adds polish, physicality, and special-teams value. If you want an immediate stat-sheet star, he’s not that yet; if you want a young DB with room to grow, he’s a watch-list guy.
