Replacing a quarterback of Stroud’s caliber is never and easy ask, but McCord and Brown both offer positives. Here’s what Day said about the upcoming competition.

Ryan on QB competition: I’m excited to see these two guys (Kyle McCord & Devin Brown) compete. When you look at the cast surrounding them I don’t think you could be more excited to be a QB.

It’s going to be a heck of a competition. #Buckeyes

McCord holds a bit of an edge in experience. The 5-star from the Class of 2021 saw some game action this past season, completing 16 of 20 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown.

Brown, a 4-star from Draper, Utah, did not record any passing stats in 2022, but is perhaps the more athletic of the 2 signal callers. To Day’s point, with strong receivers such as Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka, as well as a group of talented running backs in TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams returning, playing in this offense is a thing of dreams for these potential starting QBs.

Spring ball can’t get here soon enough.
