Even though he has only been at Ohio State since January and had knee surgery shortly after he arrived on campus, Matthew Baldwin has already made a big impression on his new head coach and teammates.
An under-the-radar recruit who was committed to Colorado State when he got an offer from Ohio State less than two months before the early signing period in December, Baldwin appeared to be a consolation prize for the Buckeyes, who had a commitment from a more highly touted quarterback recruit in the class of 2018 – Emory Jones – for more than a year before he ultimately signed with Florida.
