Overview
- Timmons, ranked by Rivals as the No. 2 cornerback and No. 29 overall prospect in 2026, becomes Ohio State’s 23rd commitment in the class.
- He visited Columbus for the Penn State game and said the defense, energy and chance to compete at the highest level drove his decision.
- Secondary coach Tim Walton led the recruitment, with Ohio State’s track record developing defensive backs cited as a key draw.
- The pickup strengthens an already deep defensive back group that includes Blaine Bradford, Simeon Caldwell, Jordan Thomas and Khmari Bing.
