Ohio State's secondary is making a serious push to become the strength of the Buckeyes defense in 2026.

After spring practice No. 10, we heard from defensive backs and coaches including Tim Walton, Matt Guerrieri, Earl Little Jr., Leroy Roker, Jaylen McClain, and Devin Sanchez — and the picture is starting to come into focus.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why Earl Little Jr. looks like an ideal fit in the secondary

• How Matt Patricia and Matt Guerrieri are emphasizing communication and disguise

• Why Jaylen McClain remains the tone-setter at safety

• The growing buzz around Dominick Kelly and Jay Timmons

• Why Devin Sanchez says the timid version of himself is gone

• Whether the DB room could become the biggest strength of Ohio State's defense

This group has talent, depth, and confidence — and it's starting to show.
