Joe Burrow is leaving Ohio State, and there should be a pretty high demand for his services on the graduate transfer market.

Burrow, a redshirt junior quarterback, competed throughout spring practice with Dwayne Haskins and Tate Martell for the Buckeyes’ starting role. He made a good case to earn that role, too, especially with his effort — 15-for-22 for 238 yards — in OSU’s spring game.

However, after graduating over the weekend, Burrow decided it was in his best interests to leave Columbus.

After weeks of struggling with this decision, I have decided to leave Ohio State and explore other options. My teammates and coaches all know the love I feel for them. I will decide where I will play next year in the coming weeks.
