Versatile, disruptive Buckeye defensive lineman with NFL-caliber toughness
In the 2019 season, Jashon Cornell delivered his best Ohio State stretch, starting all 14 games and posting 30 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, and 4.0 sacks; over his Buckeyes career he totaled 46 games, 15 starts, 13.5 TFLs, and 7 sacks. He was valued for his inside-out versatility, working both defensive tackle and end, and for bringing steady, physical production rather than flashy volume. The deeper fit? He looks like a coachable, high-motor trench player who peaked late, helped win big games, and fit an NFL-style rotation—ideal if a team wants toughness and flexibility up front.
