Last season, the Ohio State Buckeyes had one of the strongest defenses in the country, but they did not force a lot of turnovers. This season, star safety Jordan Hancock wants to change that.
As the team prepares for the upcoming season with arguably the most talented defense in the entire country, Jordan Hancock made it clear that he wants to see the team force more turnovers this upcoming season.
“We just gotta make more plays in the back end,” Hancock said in March according to Eleven Warriors. “I feel like I can get more interceptions, more forced fumbles. So just ball disruptions and making more turnovers, that’s our main goal.”
As for his own individual goals, Hancock thinks that he is capable of finishing the season with five interceptions all by himself.
“I feel like I’m capable of getting five-plus interceptions this year,” Hancock said. “I got my hands on a couple of balls last year. So I feel like just getting more interceptions.”
That’s quite a bold goal considering that Ohio State only had seven interceptions as a team last season and Hancock only had two by himself. But we’ll have to see whether or not he can match that total.
