The Buckeyes' quarterback depth might be taking another hit as Matthew Baldwin has entered the NCAA transfer portal, Ohio State confirmed on Thursday.
Baldwin has been competing with Georgia transfer Justin Fields this spring for Ohio State's starting quarterback spot – a battle which was expected to continue into the team's preseason camp.
The news of Baldwin's transfer was first reported by Austin Ward of Lettermen Row.
Ward reports that those close to the situation believe Baldwin's decision is "more to a desire to be closer to home rather than a concern about future playing time or any issues with the coaching staff.
