Ohio State Football: Should Quinn Ewers start year one?

The Ohio State football team will have the number one prospect in the country in quarterback Quinn Ewers. Should he start day one?

Quinn Ewers is the highest-rated prospect that the Ohio State football program has ever had commit to them. He is a true generational quarterback talent. He has all of the tools that can make him a truly great college and NFL quarterback. Simply put, he’s the real deal.

With all of that being said, Ewers will be a freshman next season. He will be on a team that will have had a quarterback only start one year. It will be one of C.J. Stroud, Jack Miller, or Kyle McCord. Those will be one of the quarterbacks who will start this season, and it will be the only year they’ve ever started.

Would it make sense for Ewers to start as soon as he gets on campus? He is truly a very good prospect. His ceiling is higher than every one of the quarterbacks who could end up starting this season. If he plays to his full capability, he could be one of the best QBs in Ohio State football history.

With that being said, it would be very surprising for Ryan Day to immediately tell whatever quarterback starts this year to head for the bench just a year later. No matter how good Ewers is, it may not make a lot of sense for Day to throw Stroud or McCord aside.

Ewers may have to wait to start. I don’t think that Ewers would have a problem with that since he seems like the ultimate team player. He would of course love to start as soon as he enrolls, but he also wants his team to win. Winning matters more than everything else to him.

We will have to wait and see what happens with this situation next season when Ewers gets on campus. It will be one of the more compelling storylines the Buckeyes will have.
