Bailey Russ is a physical Ohio safety with upside as a depth-piece defender
In the 2024 season, Bailey Russ appeared in nine games for Ohio and recorded 2 tackles, showing that he was part of the rotation rather than a headline-grabbing stat monster[1][5]. At 6-foot-2 and 212 pounds, he brings a sturdy frame for the safety spot, and his profile suggests a reliable, physical defender with room to grow into a bigger role[1][10]. He redshirted in 2022 and did not play in 2023 before getting game action in 2024, so the arrow here points more to development than finished product[1].
