When Joe Burrow decided to transfer from Ohio State, no one had any clue the kind of career he’d end up having as LSU football’s quarterback.
In fact, Burrow was relatively unknown in the college football world in 2018.

When Burrow decided to transfer, after receiving his degree from Ohio State, he narrowed his choices to two schools — Cincinnati and LSU.
