Ohio State QB Kyle McCord's Top Landing Spots After Entering Transfer Portal | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Power Five programs in need of immediate help at quarterback may have found a solution Monday with news that Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord is entering the transfer portal, according to the Columbus Dispatch's Joey Kaufman.

McCord threw for 3,170 yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions in his first year as the Buckeyes' starter. He could decide to stay in Columbus, but Monday's decision appears to signal the end of his time with OSU.

The junior's motivation for entering the portal is unclear. He could see the writing on the wall with Ohio State getting a commitment from Air Noland, the No. 34 overall player in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2024 recruiting class. Or he might simply want to get out from under the scrutiny and pressure that comes with being the starting QB at a program where anything less than a national championship is a disappointment.
