Spring Position Roundup - Cornerbacks
March 18, 2016 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER - Senior Ashton Lampkin and junior Ramon Richards have 21 career starts between them, but even despite that, there are probably more question marks at cornerback than any other defensive position group going into the spring.
Â
Lampkin is the more established of the two starters, but more will be asked of him this season, both in terms of on-field production and off-field leadership. Lampkin broke up five passes last season and recorded an interception against Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl.
Â
After starting nine games at cornerback as a true freshman in 2014 despite not playing corner in high school, Richards saw his role diminish last season when Lampkin returned to health after having missed most of 2014 to injury. Richards now returns to a first-team role this spring and has a chance to stake claim to the spot.
Â
If that doesn't happen, then OSU will carry a question mark at cornerback into fall camp. Those in the mix would include redshirt junior Darius Curry, early enrollee Malik Kearse and redshirt freshman Bryce Balous.
