  Ohio State safeties Jantzen Dunn and Cameron Martinez took repetitions at cornerback during practice on Tuesday, defensive coordinator Jim Knowles said. The cross-training is a step toward addressing concerns over limited depth at the position. The Buckeyes entered preseason training camp last week with only six scholarship cornerbacks, low numbers that could be even thinner if Jordan Hancock remains banged up. But no matter the timeline for his return, Knowles sees a need to uncover more depth in the upcoming weeks. "You're going to get corners who run all the time back and forth," he said. "You're going to get soft-tissue injuries. And we need to be fresh. So I feel it's definitely something we are keeping our eye on and making sure we get multiple guys their repetitions."

Knowles said he turned to Dunn and Martinez after conferring with secondary coach Tim Walton and safeties coach Perry Eliano. "They decided those are the guys that have exhibited that kind of foot quickness and speed and athleticism to fit the corner position," Knowles said, "and I thought they looked pretty good. I really do." Martinez played in all 13 games as a redshirt freshman last fall. Dunn appeared in only one in his first season with the program. A majority of Martinez's snaps were as a cover safety. He also lined up as a free safety. "I was impressed with him since I first saw him," Knowles said. "I think he's got a quickness. He's got a toughness. He's got a mental attitude and fortitude. He's a guy who's a playmaker and focused and doesn't get upset, doesn't panic. Makes a play, comes back and makes another one. Doesn't say much, but you can see he's locked in." - Columbus Dispatch

  One of the top offensive linemen in the ACC is expected to miss the 2022 football season. Boston College star guard Christian Mahogany told ESPN in a phone interview on Thursday that he tore the ACL in his right knee in May and will likely miss the entirety of the upcoming season. Mahogany injured the knee while working out at home in New Jersey. Mahogany is a 6-foot-3, 335-pound redshirt junior guard who is arguably the program's top NFL draft prospect. He'd already earned several preseason All-ACC first-team honors for 2022. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. had ranked Mahogany the country's No. 2 guard prospect for the 2023 draft. - ESPN.com

  UCF is reportedly negotiating a $17 million-$20 million settlement with the American Athletic Conference to clear a path to the Knights joining the Big 12 Conference in 2023. Cincinnati, Houston and UCF have been in negotiations with the AAC the past couple of months after all three accepted bids to join the Big 12 in September. The intent was to join the league by July 2024 at the latest, but hoping to make the move by 2023. AAC bylaws require schools to give 27 months' notice and pay a $10 million exit fee, but an earlier exit would mean a negotiated settlement.

According to a report by Action Network's Brett McMurphy, the exit fee is somewhere in the "$17 million to $20 million range." Initial reports had the AAC seeking $30 million-$35 million per school, which would be around double what the league received from UConn in 2019 when the school left early to rejoin the Big East ($17 million). A settlement could be reached this month, according to the report. - Orlando Sentinel
