No. 1 future QB Ranking, Ohio State?
What We Say
There’s no doubt Ohio State is in a great spot with the quarterback position. The Buckeyes already had some dynamic playmakers under center prior to Day being handed the keys to the program, and since then, it’s only gotten better. Stroud is going to put up monster numbers next year with another year in the system, and has a fantastic shot at winning the Heisman and leading OSU to the College Football Playoff.
Beyond that, there are question marks. Kyle McCord has a ton of talent in his right arm, but he’ll need to continue to grow to fit in seamlessly when Stroud likely moves on after the upcoming season. Devin Brown is a nice, talented, fall-back option that might be the eventual answer beyond McCord, but again, it all has to hit. One thing that is always a question mark is who stays and who decides to do a cannonball dive into the transfer portal.
Still, with Day calling the shots as a well-known quarterback guru, even if there are defections, you will see guys being shot back out of the transfer portal towards Columbus if the situation arises. It’s very easy to see Ohio State as the top quarterback destination over the next few years and things look great for the future.
