From Penalty-Prone to Polished Shutdown CB, Now a 2nd-Round NFL Cornerback
Davison Igbinosun is no longer the penalty-prone corner of 2024 (16 penalties, leading all FBS defenders) but has evolved into a polished, aggressive shutdown CB for Ohio State, starting 43 games over three years with elite physicality, long arms, and strong run support (52 tackles in 2025, 16 solo tackles in coverage). In 2025, he recorded 2 interceptions, 6 PBUs, and allowed just a 43.4 passer rating when targeted—proof of his refined technique and intensity. Scouts praise his fun, aggressive style and fit in run-heavy schemes, making him a Day 2 NFL Draft pick (Buffalo Bills, 2nd round, 62nd overall in 2026). If you need a physical, tackle-first corner who plays with fire and has proven he can lock down receivers, Igbinosun is a high-upside fit.
