Ohio State Quarterback, Kyle McCord, has entered his name into the transfer portal this Monday, causing surprise within the community. McCord, a five-star recruit of the 2021 class, did not have a shabby year by any standards. In his debut season as the Buckeye’s starter, he threw for a whopping 3,170 yards, with 24 touchdowns and just six interceptions. He started all 12 games in the 2023 season, proving his prowess on the field.

Despite these notable statistics, it appears that McCord’s time as a Buckeye may be ending. This sudden bid for transfer may have been spurred on by the uncertainty surrounding his position as starter for the next season. During a media interview the previous day, the team’s coach, Ryan Day, was noticeably non-committal when asked about McCord’s status in the upcoming season.

While it remains to be seen where exactly the St. Joseph’s Prep product will find his next opportunity, this move makes it clear that McCord is eager to find a team where he can truly shine. Undeniably, with his impressive stats and undeniable talent, he will be a valuable addition to any team he ends up choosing.
