One of college football's biggest powerhouses is reportedly entering the 2019 campaign dangerously thin at the quarterback position.
According to Austin Ward of Lettermen Row, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day confirmed Thursday that signal-caller Matthew Baldwin will enter his name in the NCAA transfer portal.
While the Buckeyes received a boost this offseason when former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Justin Fields transferred to the reigning Big Ten champions, this move means West Virginia transfer Chris Chugunov is the only other scholarship quarterback on the roster after Dwayne Haskins departed for the NFL.
Ward cited sources who said Baldwin's decision was more about being closer to his Texas home than potentially losing the starting battle to Fields, as Day had not yet officially declared a winner.
