The Ohio State football program has had a great recent run of developing quarterbacks. Three straight first-round NFL draft picks in Dwayne Haskins, Justin Fields, and C.J. Stroud are the culmination of Ryan Day’s impressive work at the position.
Day hopes to make it four straight first-round NFL quarterbacks with Kyle McCord. McCord was hand selected by Ryan Day for his 2021 recruiting class. Committing nearly a year and a half early allowed Day to build a very good recruiting class around McCord. And now with two seasons as the primary backup, McCord is ready for his opportunity in 2023.
