“Georgia high school ball is way better — well, not way better, there’s definitely other states (with good football) — but I feel like Georgia ball is the best, for sure,” he said.Ohio State is vying for its ninth national championship Monday night. It would be the second consecutive title for a Big Ten program after an SEC team had won four straight championships.But before all this, he starred at North Gwinnett High School, where he won three region titles and a state championship. He was considered a top-five cornerback recruit in the country. He lauded his development in the state, saying it prepared him for high-level collegiate affairs.
The Buckeyes also have sophomore tight end Jelani Thurman of Fairburn. Ohio State had two Georgia natives transfer from the program: Quarterback Air Noland (College Park) is off to South Carolina while receiver Kojo Antwi (Suwanee) is headed to Colorado State.Hancock is one of two key Georgia-born Buckeyes. He says he helped play a role in getting safety Caleb Downs, a Hoschton native, to pick Ohio State when Downs transferred from Alabama after last season (Hancock is good friends with Downs’ older brother, Josh, who’s a receiver for the Indianapolis Colts).
