C.J. Stroud – No. 20 overall QB in all of FBS
What We Say
We’re at least going to give Treash credit for being forward-thinking here. All you have to do is look as far back as both Justin Fields and Dwayne Haskins to show that a first-year starter under center at Ohio State can bust on the scene. In fact, taking those two examples into account, No. 20 might not be giving Stroud enough credit.
So yeah, we can see it. Stroud will have a very good offensive line, arguably the most talented and deep wide receiving corps in the country, and should be able to get yards in bunches in a system that seems to allow talented and athletic kids to develop and shine.
The only way this thing goes off the rails is if one of the other two quarterbacks competing for the starting job actually win it. Then, we say go ahead and plug either Miller or McCord in this spot.
