Kyle McCord was not going to be the guy for Ohio State moving forward after the 2023 season, but when the Buckeyes picked up a transfer commitment from Will Howard, it felt confusing. Today, I want OSU fans to meet Will Howard, get to know how good he was at Kansas State and what we can expect for him at Ohio State, enjoy!

    What do you think of the Will Howard Ohio State fit? What transfer should I cover next?
  • @ReferMadness
    He's an upgrade from Kyle McCord and can provide some veteran leadership in the QB room
  • I think what he brings in the run game is EXACTLY what we need!!! Plus he's a great bridge QB before either Air Noland or Julian Sayin. I'm pumped for next year!!!
  • @benbroxterman336
    He’s already accomplished everything we could have ever expected at K-state and has nothing left to prove. We have the highest recruit in school history that sat behind him for a year and we don’t want him to transfer. ( no sense keeping Will for a year and gambling 2-3 years of Avery) Will put up monster stats at K-state and he’ll have better weapons at Ohio st
  • @brandengilbert44
    Will Howard is better than Kyle McCord and that’s all OSU really needs.
  • @MattC-eo6ep
    I think Howard has the skills that Ohio State needs for a successful one-year, gap-plugging QB. He'll be surrounded by a huge upgrade in offensive weapons, and with his running capability in a Chip Kelly offensive scheme, they will be a terror for opposing defenses. He will also have great support from a dominating Buckeye defense. Howard's big game experience, maturity, and leadership skills will be vital in the playoffs. Overall, he may be the perfect fit for this season. This is an amazing opportunity for Howard to step up to his full potential and launch an NFL career. It should be fun to watch......

    If you watched any OSU games you would see McCord coukd not process the field an couldn't get through reads. He locked in on Harrison an just threw ball. All yr guys where running wide open down the field. Howard is smart an can get through reads. Howard can also climb in the pocket to give WRs a little more time to get open. McCord would just keep dropping back right into a sack instead of climbing pocket!! Howard is a massive upgrade as long as he can learn offense!!
  • @toddb5537
    The dude literally won a B12 title with 2 an 3* players. He is going to ball out at OSU just getting Egbuka, Tate, Innis, Smith, Graham, Henderson, Judkins, Thurman the ball!! That Seven 5* guys who All but 3 played at least One yr already! With Everybody but One starter coming back on D its gonna be best in Nation.
  • Spot on move. Needed: one QB with experience willing to leave when the next man up is available, good ability to run, you'll need it.
  • @big12plus
    Will will win! He should have more weapons at OSU. While he's not going to fake anyone out of their jock, he does have good straight line speed. He's also big, 6'5" and 240. He can take a hit and isn't easy for corners and safeties to bring down. One more benefit, Will is a team player, he'll be a great mentor for the younger QB's. Good Luck Will! EMAW

    Thought at first you were talking about 5 star and #1 overall QB from 2024 class Julian Sayin. He transferred from Alabama to OSU today.
  • @CarlaJenkinsTV
    Howard was picked up before Saban's retirement. Now the QB room has 5-stars Air Noland and Sayin, Howard is not above competition. With his job on the line, Ryan Day cannot play favorites and use seniority like he did with Kyle McCord.
  • @robertbarth5816
    He has the same arm as McCord but he can expand plays and run. This is a great place for Howard.
  • I read an article from back in December after McCord left that inferred that Day likes his quarterbacks to be leaders and be more verbal and exuberant. I think the OSU fans are looking for a dual threat quarterback like Justin Fields or JT Barret. As great as CJ Stroud was, he was decidedly a passing QB who rarely ran. I sense the OSU fans would be happy seeing a quarterback dart off for 5, 10, 15 yards in view of getting the tough yards to keep the ball moving. Will Howard might be a one-year stopgap to fill those roles related to bringing toughness and team leadership to match the physical top teams like Michigan and Georgia.
  • @MDSteele
    A true leader with a cannon. Will Howard is definitely an upgrade. He comes from a strong, talented, team oriented base all starting in Downingtown PA. He has prepared for this moment and more all his life. Enough talk let the action speak
  • @uttermanbo
    McCord was a five star, but nothing about him wows you. He would've fit in with the Tressell era.
  • Instant upgrade, Will Howard wants to compete at the top level of college football. Kyle McCord wants guarantees. One is a competitor, the other is an entitled daddys boy. Go Bucks!
  • @marcuswright2407
    It seems like our quarterback room is getting a little bit better
