Will Howard is officially Ohio State's starting quarterback.
Ryan Day officially anointed the Kansas State transfer as Ohio State’s starting quarterback to begin the 2024 season at his press conference on Thursday, two weeks after the first day of preseason camp.
Day's declaration wraps up a months-long quarterback battle between Howard, redshirt sophomore Devin Brown and the other three scholarship quarterbacks on Ohio State’s roster.
While Howard was always the frontrunner to be Ohio State’s starting quarterback this season, his inconsistency during spring practices – particularly with his downfield accuracy – left the door open for Brown and Ohio State’s other passers to continue competing for the job this summer.
