Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:55:48 GMT

He transferred to LSU when the Buckeyes opted to go with Dwayne Haskins as the starting QB in 2018. In Baton Rouge, Burrow won a national championship and Heisman Trophy and was the top pick in the 2020 draft by the Bengals.“I always said I went to school at Ohio State, and I played football at LSU,” Burrow said this week. “That’s how I think about it.”Stroud, from California, was a two-year starter at Ohio State where he broke school records and was a Heisman finalist at the end of the 2021 and ’22 seasons. He was the second overall pick by the Texans in the 2023 draft.Both were nurtured in Columbus by Ryan Day, considered one of the best quarterback coaches in college fo...
