In 1519, Hernán Cortés and his conquistadors landed in Mexico. He arrived in the New World with roughly six hundred men. Upon arrival, Cortés made history by destroying his ships – burning the wood from which they were created.
This sent a clear message to his men.
There is no turning back.
On Tuesday, Ohio State quarterback Devin Brown tweeted a photo that references Cortés’ now-famous moment, signaling that the redshirt freshman signal-caller has no intentions of leaving Columbus amid rumors that the Buckeyes could add a transfer quarterback in the offseason to replace Kyle McCord, who entered the transfer portal on Monday.
