Lorenzo Styles Jr. is still learning the techniques of cornerback following a switch from wide receiver, but he doesn’t plan on just watching and learning for long.

With cornerback being one of the most technical positions in football, it stands to reason that the technical side of the game is where a player transitioning to the spot would struggle most early on.

“Especially in press , I’m using a lot of my athleticism to put myself in position,” Styles said. “Over time I need to develop the technique to really be there and get my hands on the ball even more.”“I like Lorenzo. He’s a really good young man and he breaks on the ball well,” Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles said. “He sees things, ABCs, crack blocks by receivers and replacing — he’s got some real natural skill back there.

“He’s doing better,” Burke said. “He’s getting a lot better. I know he just transitioned from receiver. He’s learning a lot from the group and he’s making us proud.” “They’ve really been on the field, they know what it’s like to be in a game at that position,” Styles said. “Corner’s a little bit different. You could be having a great game, covering the whole entire game and get bombed on one time, you’re going to get a lot of hate for that. You have to go with the highs and lows of the position.”

Styles returned three kickoffs at Notre Dame, his longest being a 37-yarder against USC last November. His speed could also enable him to play on kickoff coverage.
