veteran Buckeye safety with brains, edge, and steady-senior reliability
Franklin is a veteran Ohio State safety who brings a dependable, hard-nosed presence and the kind of off-field polish coaches love: he was a walk-on, a former team captain in football and basketball, and a salutatorian at Beechcroft. His profile screams high football IQ, discipline, and versatility more than flash. If you want a blue-collar defensive back who understands structure, leadership, and accountability, he fits. If you need elite recruiting hype or blockbuster stat production, that’s not his lane.
