Quinn Ewers in the portal. Pour one out for the mullet
It was inevitable with the way Stroud- who is a RS fresh has played and with the way OSU continues to recruit the position. 

Ewers reclassifying to 2021 and skipping his senior year kinda screwed everything up. He comes in 2022, he redshirts- Stroud has another big season then goes pro and is a 1st round pick in 2023- and it all sets up for Ewers to take over as a RS Fresh in 2023.

Sucks losing 5* and 4* QBs- but OSU is stock-piling them and that only means great competition and the best players will rise to the top. Stroud is legit 1st round NFL prospect in 2023 Draft. Would take a catastrophic injury or him falling off the largest cliff ever for that not to happen.

Yeah- not sure ever intended to play a down.
Made an estimated $1.4mm from NIL instead of spending a year in HS.  Also got to spend 6 months training with a great QB coach and development environment. 

probably well played.

I'm sure he intended to play. Every hot-shot 5* recruit thinks they are the best thing since sliced bread and will come in and play right away. He probably thought he was so good- he'd come in right away and win that job. Turns out- Stroud is pretty damn good too- and has couple year head start on ya buddy.

Ewers was 4th string.  In fact- OSU had a walk on in addition to Stroud, McCord and Miller who was likely to see serious game action before Ewers. 

He didn’t even get there until August. Day said just a few weeks ago, he was just beginning to understand a little bit of the offense. 

Ewers knew with certainty he could never play this year.  He also knew that staying in Texas would preclude him from from legally collecting any NIL money.

I don't know man- these are 17-18 year old kids. Ewers has been hearing probably since he was 12-13 how great he is and that he's the hottest shit on planet earth. He was the #1 player in the 2022 class, reclassified and was still the #1 player in the 2021 class. According to the 247 "ALL-TIME" rankings- Ewers was tied with Jadeveon Clowney, Robert Nkemdiche, Rashan Gary, and Vince Young as the highest rated football recruit ever. Ever. 

I can almost guarantee you the kid is a gigantic cocky shit who thinks he's gods gift and was going to waltz in and win that job because he's so much more talented than everyone.

5 star Buckeye freshman QB Ewers to transfer portal because he needs to start 5 games next year to meet NIL contract?   Lol. Going to take a while to wrap my head around that one.

There's no doubt Texas will pursue him.  We have no other QBs worth a darn.  He'll get plenty of interest from other schools as well.

I feel a bit bad for the guy, really. I mean, I'm sure he'll be fine. But he was supposed to be a freshman next year, and have his senior year this year, and made the no brainer financial decision to move that up. But then he's still a young guy away from home who isn't playing this year and won't play next year. So moving on seems like a pretty easy choice.

I feel bad that he and his friends/family didn't make a better decision a few months ago

live and learn and move on

always the risk when you go to a program that recruits at the level of Bama or Clemson or Ohio St, or Texas or a top 10 program

you might have to wait to play and you might not ever be good enough to play
