If anyone, he is the least likely to transfer IMO


Disagree. If anything he is the most likely to transfer. Braxton coming back doesnt help Ohio St. It makes JT Barrett and Cardale Jones both sit and waste another year when both are more then capable to start. I love Braxton, but his time is simply up at Ohio St. I wish him the best, but its time to mutally agree to move on. JT Barrett will be the starter next year. I think Urban tells Cardale that today and Cardale goes pro tomorrow. Going pro is in Cardale's best interest as well. Somebody will draft him. He has all the tools. Sit and learn and get $$$$. He is already 22 and by the time he would go pro he would be almost 24. Transfering isnt an option because he would have to sit out another year. Strike now while the iron is hot. We have two stud QB's coming in. I think next year the QB chart looks like this. JT Barrett, Torrance Gibson then Joe Burrow. Braxton should transfer. Its in everybody's best interest.

I don't think Braxton starts if he comes back. I think it's JT's to lose. Jones to NFL and maybe Urbs uses both next year, if he can convince Braxton to stay, and I think he may, if Jones goes pro.

Eta- why would JT transfer if he only has to worry about Braxton for a year and lose a year of eligibility?

Stephen Collier will be a redshirt freshman. He is in the mix as well.

I'm not sure what all these QBs are doing coming to Ohio State. I think Torrance Gibson will end up becoming a wideout but he's stated multiple times that he only wants to play QB. Joe Burrow is a really nice athlete that throws a good ball. Not sure how he fits into the plans either.

For frick's sake this is stupid. JT would see ZERO benefit from transferring. He would have to sit out a year and then compete for a starting job somewhere else. The job is his at OSU unless he steps on his dick or gets hurt or in trouble in the offseason. Cardale is a solid QB but JT is better overall, hands down. Braxton is crazy athletically but his QB skills are much to be desired.

I've seen Burrow play in person this year and he's very good but I would be surprised if he ever saw the field at OSU. He would be a 4 yr starter at a MAC school for sure and his dad is an asst at Ohio U, so I look for him to transfer at some point. Gibson did not impress me during the Army All-American game. Good athlete but terrible mechanics and so-so arm strength. And you seem to have forgotten about redshirt Steven Collier?
