There has been no shortage of turnover in Ohio State’s quarterback room as of late. It all started with the announcement that 2018’s top dual-threat QB Justin Fields would be transferring from Georgia to OSU, followed shortly thereafter by Dwayne Haskins’ decision to enter the NFL Draft. Now, after claiming he would have no issue fighting for the Buckeyes’ starting job next season, Tate Martell announced late last night via Twitter that he will be transferring to the University of Miami.
While Fields is expected to be granted immediate eligibility and be Ohio State’s starting QB in 2019, there is still another guy in that quarterback room whose role has become even more important.
