And the Winner will be … C.J Stroud
What Myerberg says
“Neither redshirt freshman attempted a pass behind Justin Fields in 2020, though Stroud did run for a 48-yard touchdown late in a romp over Michigan State. Stroud had also taken over as Fields’ backup by the tail end of last season. That may give him the edge as the Buckeyes make another run at the national title, but it’s too soon to count out Miller or McCord, a five-star prospect on campus for spring ball.”
“Prediction: Stroud. Ryan Day has said (and will continue to say) otherwise, but Stroud will enter the spring as the odds-on favorite to replace Fields. After he put some distance between himself and Miller over the course of last season, Stroud’s toughest competition may come from an incoming freshman recently named the National High School Coaches Association Player of the Year.”
