When Jim Knowles was hired as the new defensive coordinator, everyone knew the Ohio State defense was going to be seriously overhauled. Part of Knowles’ system is having multiple safeties on the field at the same time. Oklahoma State transfer, Tanner McCalister, will help ease the transition to this new scheme, but the Buckeyes are looking to add depth and playmakers to this important position group.
Joenel Aguero is the No. 2 ranked safety in the 2023 class according to 247Sports composite rankings and has Ohio State firmly in the mix. Aguero attends St. Johns Prep in Lynn, Mass.
