Herding cats has nothing on trying to keep a quarterback room full. Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has seen a flurry of quarterback activity in his nearly two-and-a-half years at Ohio State. In fact, there have been 15 quarterbacks in that span who have either played for OSU or committed to the Buckeyes since Day’s arrival.
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is once again a victim of his own success, and while it may make things a little uncomfortable for a while, it’s better than having a head coach who is constantly a victim of his own failures. With redshirt freshman quarterback Matthew Baldwin announcing his intention to transfer from Ohio State, the OSU…
This was quite a recruiting cycle for Ohio State and quarterbacks. The Buckeyes missed out on a number of their early targets, including Grant Gunnell (who went to Arizona), Graham Mertz (Wisconsin), Ryan Hilinski (South Carolina), and others…
Ohio State’s 2019 recruiting class is once again one of the best in the nation, but at the moment it is missing a quarterback. Dwan Mathis, who was committed to Ohio State all the way until Wednesday’s Early Signing Day, flipped his commitment and signed with Georgia instead…

Rivals ranks him as the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback and the No. 90 player overall. He also held offers from Oregon, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, and Kentucky. The Wolverines had not yet extended an offer.
Ohio State held its annual Friday Night Lights camp tonight. Usually open to the public and the media, the weather moved the festivities from Ohio Stadium to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, which forced them to close the event to the public.
