Morning Everyone,

 

I had some down time today so I thought this would be a good little offseason read. Everyone is obviously wondering how the next great OSU QB is going to perform in their first season, so I tried to give somewhat of an idea of how past results went and things that could attribute to their success. I went ahead and took all of the details from how each QB did in their first season under Ryan Day.

This list include the QBs recruiting profile, the average recruiting ranking for the top 4 receivers THAT YEAR to show the talent the QB had to work with in terms of passing. Note: for the 2023 season I elected to not use Cade Stover as his recruiting ranking was for an LB position. I chose to use Xavier Johnson as he was IMO OSU's 4th true weapon at the WR (H Back) position for this upcoming season. I hope you find this topic somewhat interesting, and gives you something to think about this offseason.
