Bryce West has the ideal size to play in the Big Ten now with great length and the frame to add another 15 pounds. He is also pure speed and reaches that top speed immediately. He checks all of the physical boxes that you look for in a Big Ten starting cornerback.
Bryce West has good size, but he plays like a much larger and thicker corner, which isn’t going to fly at the next level. West loves to bully receivers and dominate them physically in man coverage, but he will not have the same size and length advantage in the Big Ten that he became so reliant on at the high school level.
Bryce West is going to be a nice piece to the future defensive puzzle at Ohio State, but he will need a year of seasoning before competing for a top spot. He has enough physical talent to get a shot at seeing the field early on special teams and develop into a future NFL cornerback down the road.
