Survival of the Nicest

Looks like Ohio State is back to having a charismatic quarterback again.

We haven't seen one of those since the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. C.J. Stroud was more inclined to allow his prodigious arm and elite processing speed do his loudest talking. For all his shortcomings, last season's starting quarterback also had negative charisma.

I assume his father no longer reads this site, making him less inclined to send us his unsolicited feedback about our coverage. Ohio State's QB should be a difference-maker, a charismatic and natural leader - or preferably both. A brutal but important lesson learned for Ohio State's lead recruiter and QB whisperer.
