LSU has selected Ohio State transfer Joe Burrow as its starting quarterback according to Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger.
Burrow, who came to Baton Rouge after two seasons as a backup at Ohio State, beat out sophomore Myles Brennan for the position. According to Dellenger, Brennan is expected to play in 2018 but can still redshirt if he plays in less than five games.
Burrow transferred to LSU in May as a former four-star prospect from The Plains, OH. He joined the Buckeyes as the nation's No. 8 dual threat recruit in 2015.
