Ohio State '20 AZ S (SR) - Latham Ransom ('22 Honorable Mention All-BIG)

Ryan Day on Lathan Ransom: "I mean, production," he said. "This guy is producing. He blocked punts in back-to-back weeks... That is amazing. That (block) was at really huge point in the game and got us a lot of momentum."

 

Even though both were playing with hand injuries, Tommy Eichenberg led Ohio State with 13 tackles while Lathan Ransom blocked his second punt in as many weeks against Maryland. https://t.co/mP0gTDg8Ln

Lathan Ransom, S
The lasting image of Ransom from 2022 isn’t a positive one. His slip in coverage in the loss to Georgia allowed Arian Smith to catch a 76-yard touchdown and bring the Bulldogs within a score in the fourth quarter. But he was among the Buckeyes' top safeties, the team's third-leading tackler, and a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back, making going pro an option to consider.

 

Safety Lathan Ransom will return to Ohio State, his father told me. He and C.J. Stroud were the last draft-eligible players whose Buckeye/NFL futures were unknown. Our story: https://t.co/iqlR5vTdJC

Lathan Ransom heard the criticism from late last season. He is using it to fuel him to become better this spring.

So far, it's working. Now he wants to become a more consistent leader for the Buckeyes:https://t.co/XN8vfdBKhG
