Although it’s widely assumed that former Kansas State quarterback Will Howard will be Ohio State’s starting quarterback this season, neither Devin Brown nor Lincoln Kienholz plans to step aside without taking their best shots at winning the job.
Furthermore, there’s been plenty of speculation since Howard’s arrival that both Brown and Kienholz could be candidates to enter the transfer portal after this spring. But neither of them is thinking that way going into Tuesday’s start of spring practices.
Brown, the longest-tenured quarterback on Ohio State’s roster entering his third year as a Buckeye, likely would have been the frontrunner to start this season if Ohio State hadn’t added Howard.
