OHIO STATE OFFICIAL BIO AND STATS
One of the nation’s top-ranked cornerbacks … the No. 67 overall player and No. 4 cornerback in the country according to 247Sports … was a first-team all-region and all-Gwinnett County player in 2019 as a junior … originally opted not to play his senior season due to family health concerns but returned to his team in mid-October … helped North Gwinnett win one state championship and three regional titles in his career … recorded two interceptions and 12 passes defended as a junior in 2019 … also played basketball and ran track during his time at North Gwinnett … is the son of Benita and Kenneth Hancock.
Film, frame, and playing style is eerily similar to that of A.J. Terrell who just left the Clemson program as a first round NFL Draft pick. Neither were burners in the 40-yard dash in high school, but both have exceptional play speed and are physical corners that have lockdown, man to man ability. Hancock has the tools to make a similar impact wherever he suits up in college.
JOHN GARCIA, SI ALL-AMERICAN, ON HANCOCK
Traits translate, so do measurables and verifiable athleticism. Hancock has the hips and lower-half coordination to copy and mirror receivers at the line, plus he can sit in off-coverage alignments and challenge the break points on option routes, the type slot receivers specialize in and that Nickel prospects must be able to defend.
