My Thoughts On Ohio State Football's Quarterback Battle | Ohio State Football 2023
from College Football with Sam · host Samuel Recker
Dwayne Haskins, CJ Stroud, and Justin Fields were all developed into 1st round NFL Draft picks by coach Ryan Day. Day has established himself as a wizard at developing quarterbacks and as a consequence, he has recruited extremely well at the position. Ohio State currently has two quarterbacks that were rated inside of the Top 50 coming out of their respective high school recruiting classes. Junior Kyle McCord was a 5-star, while Devin Brown was a highly ranked 4-star. As a result of elite development and coaching, I expect CJ Stroud's torch to be seamlessly passed to Kyle McCord or Devin Brown. McCord is currently the favorite to start, but this quarterback battle is far from over as Devin Brown's hand has recovered from an injury he faced in the spring. Whoever starts under center with the Buckeyes will have a variety of elite weapons to choose from. Ohio State has two +1,000-yard wide receivers in Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka, a solid tight end in Cade Stover, and three running backs with +500 rushing yards last year in Miyan Williams, TreVeyon Henderson, and Dallan Hayden. Ryan Day's offense will also have an improved running game this year (if the running backs can stay healthy of course) because of returning production on the interior of the offensive line, which will take pressure off of the quarterback. Regardless of who starts, I don't think Ohio State Football will lose this quarterback battle. You cannot go wrong with either Kyle McCord or Devin Brown. Both are Top 15 quarterbacks nationally and we will see that from day one, even if the competition bleeds into the fall.
