Ohio State University quarterback Kyle McCord has entered the transfer portal, leaving his future with the football team uncertain. McCord's decision comes after Ohio State's loss to Michigan in the regular-season finale, which ended their hopes of making it to the College Football Playoff. McCord was a highly regarded recruit when he joined Ohio State, and there was speculation that he would be in the running for the starting quarterback position next season. However, his entry into the transfer portal suggests that he may be looking for opportunities elsewhere.

News of McCord's transfer quickly spread, with many media outlets reporting on the story. Some of the potential landing spots mentioned for McCord include LSU, Florida, and Ole Miss. The decision to enter the transfer portal will allow McCord to explore his options and connect with coaches from other schools who might be interested in recruiting him.

McCord's departure raises questions about Ohio State's quarterback situation going forward. With McCord leaving, the team will have three quarterbacks remaining on the roster: C.J. Stroud, Jack Miller III, and Quinn Ewers. Stroud, who is currently the starting quarterback, had a strong season but struggled in the loss to Michigan. Miller and Ewers, both highly regarded recruits, have seen limited playing time.

McCord's decision also comes as part of a larger trend of undergraduate players entering the transfer portal. The NCAA recently implemented new rules that allow athletes to transfer once without having to sit out a year, leading to an increase in the number of players exploring their options. Names like Dillon Gabriel of Oklahoma and McCord have become some of the biggest names in the transfer portal as more players begin searching for new schools.

Overall, McCord's entry into the transfer portal has left fans and analysts speculating about what the future holds for him and for Ohio State's quarterback situation. It remains to be seen where McCord will end up and who will take over the starting role for Ohio State next season.

Ohio State loses starting QB to transfer portal weeks before Cotton Bowl

YardBarker - 337 days ago - The No. 7-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes’ odds of beating the No. 9-ranked Missouri Tigers in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl on Dec. 29 took a bit of a hit on Monday morning after starting quarterback Kyle McCord announced he had entered the NCAA transfer portal. McCord threw for 3,170 yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions while leading Ohio State to an 11-1 record. That lone loss came in a 30-24 loss to No. 1-ranked Michigan two weeks ago. He was named the full-time starter in Week 3 after splitting time with Devin Brown in the first two games of the year against Indiana and Youngstown State. McCord's announcement comes a day after head coach Ryan Day declined to commit to the quarterback moving forward. Though head coach Ryan Day downplayed the possibility prior to McCord's announcement, the quarterback's departure opens the door for OSU to grab one of the high-profile QBs in the transfer portal, including Washington State’s Cam Ward, Duke's Riley Leonard, Kansas State’s Will Howard, Oregon State’s D.J. Uigale

YardBarker - 337 days ago - Another big name has entered the college football transfer portal. Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord entered his name into the transfer portal on Monday, according to multiple reports, including ESPN's Adam Rittenberg. McCord, who is in his third year with Ohio State, started for the Buckeyes all season. He was a backup behind C.J. Stroud for two years and then beat out Devin Brown for the starting job heading into 2023. While the stats are solid, the results have been mixed for McCord. McCord completed 65.8% of his passes for 3,170 yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions this season. Two of those interceptions came in Ohio State’s 30-24 loss to rival Michigan.
