Kyle McCord started all 12 regular season games for the Ohio State Buckeyes this season, but he will be with a new team next season after he decided to transfer away from Ohio State, ultimately signing with the Syracuse Orange.
It was somewhat of a surprising decision as many expected Kyle McCord to remain Ohio State’s starting quarterback next season and during a recent appearance on “The QB Room” podcast hosted by Kyle Allen and Jordan Palmer, McCord explained his move, calling it “a business decision.”
“You guys know it just as well as I do, at the end of the day, the top level of college football and then especially onto the pros, it’s a business. At the end of the day, Ohio State had to make a business decision that they felt was best for them, and I had to do the same thing,” McCord said on the podcast according to Eleven Warriors. “And unfortunately it just wasn’t meant to be for next year. But at the end of the day, I felt like I put together some solid games, had some good tape, so I was confident when I went in the portal, I would find a good home.”
Now, Ohio State will have a new quarterback next season, and McCord will have a new team.
