He may not be the flashiest player on the field, but there can be little doubt that J.T. Barrett is one of the top players to ever grace the quarterback position at Ohio State. This season alone, Barrett has thrown 24 touchdowns to five interceptions and run for another nine scores. He is second on the team in rushing behind running back Mike Weber with 847 rushing yards in the regular season. Individually, he is 35th nationally in total offense per game with 272.9 yards per game (that’s good for third in the Big Ten, too).
Even while splitting time with Cardale Jones last season, Barrett has, over the course of three years at Ohio State, planted himself firmly in the record books as a top performer in most statistical categories among quarterbacks.
