Ohio State football coach Ryan Day praised a young player this week, noting he could get more reps for the Buckeyes moving forward.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Washington’s Adam Mohammed had an impressive 41-yard kick return in the first half of Saturday’s game againstWith the Buckeyes leading 17-6 in the fourth quarter, Mohammed’s second return of the game only went for 18 yards before he was tripped up by defensive backBrad NesslerThe plays garnered attention as the sophomore has held a minimal role for Ohio State defensively, but for those inside the program, it wasn’t surprising to see Scott come up big in the third phase.
“He made the play that he made in the game through the last couple weeks,” Day said. “The last 13 times that we’ve run down on kickoff, he was the first guy to the 30-yard line. Then he gets there in the game, and he makes that hit inside the 20-yard line.”“Aaron Scott’s going to start playing more football around here,” Day said. “That’s how you cut your teeth on special teams. That’s the culture that we have, and the guys buy into it.” Scott came to Ohio State as a five-star prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, but unlike others in his class such as Jeremiah Smith andWith Igbinosun and Jermaine Mathews holding starting roles this year — and five-star freshman Devin Sanchez jumping into the mix — Scott has had to work for playing time. He capitalized on his special teams opportunities rather than pouting about a lack of defensive snaps through four games.Cornerbacks coach Tim Walton has helped transform the talent in his room since arriving at Ohio State in 2022. A position group once anchored by Burke, who was forced to start as a true freshman, is now among OSU’s deepest. The Buckeyes don’t have to thrust young corners into important roles. Instead, they can develop behind the scenes and earn playing time in other areas.“We say our best players play,” Day said. “If we decide to pull somebody out, it’s because we decide to. We try to find young guys to get in there.” If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.and agree that your clicks, interactions, and personal information may be collected, recorded, and/or stored by us and social media and other third-party partners in accordance with our
