Ohio State freshman Jay Timmons didn’t waste a single second making an impact in the Buckeyes’ game against Texas. On the very first play of Texas’ opening offensive drive, the true freshman absolutely blew up Longhorns running back Raleek Brown behind the line of scrimmage, punching the ball free.
Instant Impact Play
Timmons didn’t stop at forcing the fumble, he recovered it too, setting Ohio State up with the ball at Texas’ 17-yard line. Talk about a statement! That kind of immediate takeaway is clutch for setting the tone, and it led directly to Ohio State getting on the board with a field goal, grabbing an early 3-0 lead in the first quarter.
A Freshman Phenom Rising
This isn’t Timmons’ first big moment either. The guy lost his “black stripe” after only six days of preseason camp, showing everyone what he’s capable of early on. He even started last week for Ohio State in the season opener against Ball State. For a true freshman to step up like this, right out of the gate in a huge game, it absolutely screams “future star.”
