What VanHaaren Says

“Stroud is likely going to be the starter for Ohio State, so he is an important newcomer for college football, but Ewers is important in his own right. He made headlines when he reclassified from the 2022 class to 2021 and enrolled at Ohio State in August. Ewers is going to have a steep learning curve if he wants to see the field right away, but adding in a talent such as him a year earlier than expected is an important addition for the Buckeyes.”
