A national champion cornerback out of Ohio State who cleaned up his penalty problem just in time to become a second-round pick.
Davison Igbinosun arrives in Buffalo as one of the more battle-tested corners in this rookie class, having started for a College Football Playoff national champion before the Bills grabbed him in the second round. He began his career at Ole Miss before transferring to Ohio State, where he turned himself from a flagged liability into a first-team all-conference cover man.
Path to the league
Igbinosun started 13 games as a true freshman at Ole Miss in 2022, picking up Freshman All-American honors, before transferring to Ohio State for his final three seasons. The Bills selected him in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft with the No. 62 overall pick, well ahead of where most draft analysts had him projected.
Career highlights
Igbinosun was part of Ohio State's 2024 national championship team and started 16 games as a junior, picking off two passes. He is a physically imposing corner at 6-foot-2 who plays comfortably in both press-man and zone coverage, with the long speed to match receivers vertically.
2025 season recap
In his senior season at Ohio State, Igbinosun cut his penalty total from 16 the year before to just five, a turnaround that helped him earn first-team All-Big Ten honors. He finished the year with 53 tackles, two interceptions and eight pass breakups.
