Position Preview: Cornerbacks
August 11, 2017 | Cowboy Football
Cornerback is OSU's most unproven position group, but it received an offseason boost with the addition of Adrian Baker, a graduate transfer from Clemson who started three games for the Tigers in 2015 before missing all of 2016 to injury.
Sophomores A.J. Green and Madre Harper and redshirt freshman Rodarius Williams are young players who will be asked to be major contributors. As true freshmen in 2016, Green and Harper both saw substantial game action on special teams and minimally on defense while Williams redshirted and developed his skills on the scout team.
Redshirt senior Darius Curry enters his fifth year in the program, but has yet to make a name for himself as a defensive player. He played in 12 games in 2016 and has played in 28 games during his career, but the bulk of his contributions in an Oklahoma State uniform have come on special teams, as opposed to on defense.
An interesting note on Green, Harper, Williams and Curry is their size - all of them stand six-feet tall or above, which isn't always common among cornerbacks.
Also factoring into the cornerback plans is senior Ramon Richards, though he is slated to primarily be a safety who rotates in at corner. Others to note are senior Malik Kearse, sophomore Bryce Balous and freshman Lamarcus Morton.
