BREAKING: Ohio State Starting QB Revealed Amid Massive Battle For Starting Spot
COLUMBUS, OH — In a highly anticipated decision, Ohio State has officially named their starting quarterback for the 2025 season, ending a month-long battle that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Head coach Ryan Day revealed on Tuesday that Jack Miller III, a sophomore from Jacksonville, Florida, has won the coveted position after a fierce competition with fellow quarterbacks Kyle McCord and Devin Brown.
The battle for the starting job has been one of the most talked-about storylines in college football this offseason. With the departure of last year’s starter, C.J. Stroud, who was selected as the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Ohio State found itself in a rare situation of uncertainty at the quarterback position. All three quarterbacks had strong performances during the spring practices, making the final decision a difficult one for Day and his coaching staff.
Miller, who was initially viewed as a possible backup, emerged as the frontrunner after an impressive series of performances in spring camp and a strong showing in the spring game. His ability to lead the offense with poise and accuracy impressed coaches and teammates alike. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound signal-caller has shown significant development since joining the Buckeyes as a highly rated recruit in 2023.
“Jack has really taken ownership of the offense,” Coach Day commented in a press conference. “His leadership and command on the field have earned him this opportunity. He has all the tools to lead us to where we want to go this season.”
While McCord and Brown both displayed flashes of brilliance throughout the competition, Day emphasized that they will continue to play significant roles in the team’s offense, with a possible rotation or packages designed for each quarterback’s strengths.
Ohio State fans can now breathe a sigh of relief, knowing the identity of their starting quarterback as they look ahead to a promising 2025 season.
