Steven M. Sipple: If Frost is eyeing transfer QB market, watch Buckeyes' situation closely

If you're putting together a list of the most intriguing Big Ten football storylines of the spring, high in the pecking order would be the battle for starting quarterback at Ohio State.

It's conceivable that Frost, the first-year Husker head coach, may consider a grad transfer QB. He has said his ideal quarterback room has five scholarship players. He currently has three scholarship QBs eligible to play in 2018: sophomore Patrick O'Brien, redshirt freshman Tristan Gebbia and true freshman Adrian Martinez.

Joe Burrow was the state of Ohio's Mr. Football in 2014. He's known in his family as "Super Burrow" because at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds he's blessed with a strong work ethic, not to mention the sort of elite athleticism that the rest of the family lacked — which is saying a mouthful considering Jamie made a team-leading 84 tackles for Nebraska's 2001 team that played for the national championship.
