Here's a stat that works: The last four out-of-state corners to begin their career at Ohio State and earn a starting spot have been picked in the NFL's first round: Brad Roby, Eli Apple, Damon Arnette and Jeffrey Okudah. Just for good measure, three Ohio native corners have also been taken in the first round during that stretch.
It does appear Floridian cornerback Shaun Wade will be picked in the second round. Oh, the calamity.
Still, it's an unbelievable recruiting arrow in Ohio State's quiver. It's likely a big reason why the Class of 2022 already boasts Floridian Jaheim Singletary and Louisianan by way of suburban Cincy in Jyaire Brown. 
And know this: Ohio State is not done. Corners from Florida and Texas have made Buckeye-related news recently.
247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to address that and also hit on a wide receiver and quarterback headed elsewhere.
