There were several reasons why Philadelphia four-star quarterback Kyle McCord decided to pull the trigger on his commitment to Ohio State on Tuesday morning – the coaching staff, the offensive philosophy and system, the University altogether. But one thing that stood out to the No. 8 2021 quarterback the most was when head coach Ryan Day told him that he was the top quarterback on his 2021 board.
Even though McCord had been in contact with new quarterback coach Mike Yurcich the most during his recruitment, it was still Day, who has the NFL quarterback coaching experience and is in his first season of trying to follow a legendary head coach, who ultimately sealed McCord’s commitment.
