Tate Martell is no longer at Ohio State, and he considered leaving before the 2018 season even started, according to Kyle Rowland of the Toledo Blade.
Rowland reports that Martell was one day late to the team's fall camp this season and both Urban Meyer and Ryan Day talked him out of transferring.
Ultimately, he did transfer, and a major reason why was Meyer's retirement and the resulting staff turnover, Martell's attorney, Travis Leach, told Rowland. That staff turnover, among other things, will be used to make his case for immediate eligibility next season.
From Kyle Rowland of the Toledo Blade:
“That definitely is part of it,” Leach told The Blade when asked about the coaching staff.
