Ohio State Safety Jantzen Dunn Loses Black Stripe
Ohio State apparently had a great day of fall camp on Friday, as freshman safety Jantzen Dunn became the third Buckeye to shed his black stripe following practice, joining offensive lineman Donovan Jackson and cornerback Jordan Hancock.
âI just want to thank yâall boys for mentoring me and, you know, sticking with me,â Dunn said as sophomore safety Bryson Shaw removed the stripe from his helmet. âI love yâall boys. Shoutout BIA. Go Bucks!â
The 6-foot-1 and 190-pound Dunn came to Ohio State from Bowling Green, (Ky.) South Warren, where he was considered the 10th-best safety and No. 172 prospect overall in the class of 2021. He enrolled in classes in January and has been seen making plays in the Buckeyesâ secondary throughout fall camp.
âThey get called out a lot,â head coach Ryan Day of the newcomers in the secondary. âI donât know if theyâre making plays or if theyâve got blackmail on (director of football operations) Quinn (Tempel). No, theyâve been making a lot of great plays.
âI have to give them a lot of credit. They have been challenging a lot of routes. Itâs been one of the more competitive preseasons weâve had, and if you cover Chris (Olave) and Garrett (Wilson), then you can have confidence and you can cover a lot of guys around the country.â
Dunn becomes the 13th member of the Buckeyesâ 2021 recruiting class to have his stripe removed, joining Jackson, Hancock, wide receivers Marvin Harrison and Emeka Egbuka, defensive ends Jack Sawyer and J.T. Tuimoloau, running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Evan Pryor, linebacker Reid Carrico, cornerback Denzel Burke, quarterback Kyle McCord and punter Jesse Mirco.
