Where does the Ohio State Buckeyes QB room rank nationally?

Spring football is behind us and the second window of the transfer portal is closed. During this somewhat dead period of college football news, position rankings are king, and there’s no group more fun to rank than quarterbacks.

The Ohio State Buckeyes have boasted an embarrassment of riches under center in recent years, and this season should be no different. And On3 thinks so too.

The Buckeyes are ranked among the best, nationally, in quarterback rooms, ranking second by On3.

Somehow, the Buckeyes came out of the second portal window with all five scholarship quarterbacks on the roster. Will Howard and Devin Brown are competing for the starting job, while transfer Five-star freshman Julian Sayin is also nipping at their heels for playing time. Lincoln Kienholz remains a developmental option, and five-star freshman Air Noland could contend for the QB1 role in 2025 if he is able to push Sayin.”

The SEC dominates the list with seven entries, and Notre Dame appears as an independent. The Big Ten has two teams represented, the Buckeyes at No. 2 and the Oregon Ducks at No. 3.

The full list is as follows:

10. Texas A&M Aggies
9. Florida Gators
8. LSU Tigers
7. Ole Miss Rebels
6. Notre Dame fighting the Irish
5. Alabama Crimson Tide
4. Georgia Bulldogs
3. Oregon Ducks
2. Ohio State Buckeyes
1. Texas Longhorns

Following last spring’s game, coach Ryan Day said the starting position was up for grabs. But regardless of who starts at center in the first game, the team seems well-positioned for at least the next two years with Brown, Howard and two of the best freshmen recruits in the country.
