It’s easy to forget how young Justin Fields and Matthew Baldwin still are.
The two quarterbacks who are competing to be Ohio State’s starter this season should technically still be just freshmen in college. Both of them graduated from high school early and enrolled in college in January 2018, but Baldwin has still only been in Columbus for a little over 15 months, while Fields – who transferred to Ohio State after one year at Georgia – has been in Columbus for just over three months.
It’s important for Ryan Day and Ohio State’s coaching staff to remember that when analyzing how Fields and Baldwin performed this spring.
