Between the questions of when Braxton Miller will be cleared to throw a football again and what’s the next chance for Cardale Jones to throw out the first pitch someplace, J.T. Barrett has been lost in the conversation regarding the competition for starting quarterback at Ohio State.
One reason is because Barrett prefers it that way. He has declined requests for an interview in recent weeks as the Buckeyes go through summer conditioning work heading toward preseason camp in August.
But it would be folly to interpret Barrett’s approach as deference to his competitors for the starting job.
