As was reported Thursday evening, former Ohio State quarterback Matthew Baldwin has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal and will leave the program in the midst of what head coach Ryan Day and the staff were calling a quarterback battle.
While the transfer ensures that sophomore transfer quarterback Justin Fields will be the starting quarterback at Ohio State for the 2019 season, it also means the Buckeyes are losing what is a fairly talented arm behind Fields and reduces the QB roster to three – the second being West Virginia grad transfer Chris Chugunov, who would be a slight step down from the quarterbacks that have led Ohio State in the last decade-plus.
