Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has said that he ideally wants the Buckeyes to have four scholarship quarterbacks at all times.
Maintaining that number of scholarship quarterbacks is becoming an increasingly difficult task.
Ohio State is currently down to just two scholarship quarterbacks for the 2019 season after Tate Martell transferred to Miami in January and Matthew Baldwin entered the transfer portal on Thursday, later confirming in a statement on Twitter that he is stepping away from the program.
If you’re an Ohio State fan, you might be thinking, ‘What’s happening here?’ Ohio State has now lost three scholarship quarterbacks to transfers in a year’s time – Joe Burrow went to LSU as a graduate transfer after Dwayne Haskins beat him out for the starting job last spring – while Haskins left to enter the NFL draft after just one year as a starter.
