Ohio State's coaches are still working to find the best fit for Sonny Styles, who James Laurinaitis likened to former Clemson linebacker/safety hybrid Isaiah Simmons.
Matt Guerrieri and James Laurinaitis are the two newest assistants on Ohio State’s defensive coaching staff.
Styles played safety all of last season for the Buckeyes. He slotted in as a nickel to start the year in a rotation with Jordan Hancock – Styles mostly played in heavier formations to put another physical defender in the box – then slid back to strong safety after Lathan Ransom’s season-ending injury.
“It starts with a dynamic playmaker,” Guerrieri said. “You guys have been able to see that on plenty of Saturdays here, from the time that he first came in here, he had a starting role in that Georgia game his first year. So Sonny is dynamic in what he can do.” Should he find a sticking point at either linebacker or safety, both coaches seem comfortable with the depth pieces they have otherwise to where the rooms wouldn’t be hurt so much. Laurinaitis is looking for a big spring from C.J. Hicks, Gabe Powers and Arvell Reese as they compete to start at Will and play alongside Mike linebacker Cody Simon if Styles stays at safety.
