At the end of December, Ohio State's top three quarterbacks in order were Dwayne Haskins, Tate Martell and Matthew Baldwin, with four-star quarterback prospect Dwan Mathis set to join them. Justin Fields, meanwhile, was Georgia's quarterback of the future.
Less than four months later, all three of those Buckeye quarterbacks have left the program, or at least plan to leave, Mathis never signed with the Buckeyes, and Fields is Ohio State's presumptive starter as one of just two scholarship quarterbacks remaining on the roster – both of whom are transfers from other programs.
In a very short time, Ohio State went from seemingly overloaded with talent at the quarterback position to seeking a late graduate transfer addition to ensure a walk-on doesn't crack the three-deep.
