Following Ohio State’s spring game on Saturday, head coach Ryan Day said he expected the quarterback competition between Justin Fields and Matthew Baldwin to continue into preseason camp.
Just five days later, it’s now crystal clear who the Buckeyes’ starting quarterback will be.
Ohio State confirmed Thursday that Baldwin is entering the transfer portal, leaving Fields as the undisputed starting quarterback – and very little depth behind him.
Fields’ emergence as the starter isn’t surprising. After all, the No. 2 overall recruit from the class of 2018 didn’t transfer from Georgia after one year to sit on the bench elsewhere.
