How will Ewers factor in this fall?
The most highly anticipated battle of this fall for Ohio State is under center. It always will be at almost any school when the starting quarterback is unknown, but with Justin Fields off to the NFL, and three very capable options to replace him, it’ll be the main story of fall camp.
Now that Ewers is also going to be eligible, will he be inserted into the already crowded quarterback room? It’s beginning to look a lot like 2018 when J.T. Barret moved on and you had Dwayne Haskins, Joe Burrow, and Tate Martell all vying to be the face of the program. We of course know how that all turned out, but what about this year?
My guess is that Ewers will not really be much of a factor in this fall’s race. It’s going to be hard to come in just a month out from the start of the season, learn the offense, and do enough to even come close to winning the job. My guess is that he redshirts, learns, and then the seal will be broken on one of the most anticipated toys the program has ever had next fall.
However, stay tuned I guess …
