Ex-Kentucky QB Hoak transfers to Ohio State
Ohio State is adding quarterback Gunnar Hoak, a graduate transfer from Kentucky.
Hoak, who last week entered the NCAA transfer portal, announced Saturday on Twitter that he had accepted an offer to join the Buckeyes. He's set to graduate from Kentucky next week and will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Ohio State needed a quarterback after redshirt freshman Matthew Baldwin entered the transfer portal earlier this month. Hoak redshirted at Kentucky in 2016, did not play any games in 2017 and appeared in five games last season, completing 13 of 26 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns.
Sophomore Justin Fields, a transfer from Georgia, is expected to start for Ohio State this season.
