Jeffrey Okudah, Ohio State

The No. 1 ranked cornerback recruit and No. 8 overall prospect in the 2017 recruiting class, Jeffrey Okudah has lived up to the hype and could end up being the top cornerback in this year’s draft class once the season comes to an end.

Outside of the Washington game, his tape can be quite monotonous because of the lack of targets he gets, but his movement skills were on display — they’re different. The way he moves his feet and the flexibility he shows with his hips are pretty rare.

Okudah is perhaps the cornerback with the most potential in the class, which is saying something for someone who is already this talented. He not only will wreak havoc in the vertical passing game but on screens and runs as well.

Okudah certainly has it all. Continuing into next year the only thing Okudah really needs is consistency.
