Fresh off a national championship, Jordan Hancock is headed to the NFL. At Ohio State, Hancock was an underrated piece of college football’s top secondary. With all of the attention elsewhere, Hancock shined as a slot corner and improved his modest draft projection for this year. When he declared, he wasn’t on most draft boards. Is he going to be more than a day-three player?<\/p>\n

He was considered a Clemson lock before flipping to the Buckeyes in the July before Early National Signing Day. The Ohio State cornerback room was already solid, so as a true freshman, Hancock appeared in seven games as a depth piece and managed just four tackles and a pass breakup. As a sophomore, it was more of the same. He played in six games and totaled five tackles.<\/p>\n He earned playing time as a junior and was the Buckeyes’ CB3\/nickel in the slot. In that role, Hancock made 41 tackles, two tackles for loss, two sacks, two forced fumbles, five pass breakups, and two interceptions. One of those interceptions was a 93-yard pick-six in the win over Rutgers.<\/p>\n His 2024 NFL Draft prospects did not line up, so he joined the group of Buckeyes who returned to win a title. In that National Championship-winning season, Hancock continued his high-end play. He made 48 tackles, two tackles for loss, half of a sack, eight pass breakups, two more forced fumbles, and an interception. He earned All-Big Ten Honorable Mention as a senior.<\/p>\n Bets Fits<\/strong>: Cincinnati Bengals<\/a>, New York Giants<\/a>, Carolina Panthers<\/a>, San Francisco 49ers<\/a>, Baltimore Ravens<\/a><\/p>\n Projection<\/strong>: Mid-to-late Day Three<\/p>\n Jordan Hancock had a monster performance at the Ohio State Pro Day and should be on every DC’s radar.<\/p>\n “If you’re a DC that likes to get creative, Jordan Hancock is the Swiss Army knife back there that does it all.”<\/p>\n –@Bcarp3<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/YJjmWdWB9s<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Bobby Carpenter Show (@BobbyCarpShow) March 28, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nJordan Hancock 2025 NFL Draft Scouting Report<\/h2>\n
