Kyle McCord, Ohio State Buckeyes’ Transfer Quarterback, is moving on from Nebraska Cornhuskers in Wake of Stunning New Predictions about 5-star Quarterback Dylan Raiola
Ohio State Buckeyes‘ transfer quarterback Kyle McCord was predicted to end up a Nebraska Cornhusker, but has since moved on in the wake of the news that five-star Georgia Bulldog quarterback-commit Dylan Raiola is likely to flip his commitment to the Cornhuskers, according to On3 Sports’ Pete Nakos.
NEWS: Ohio State transfer QB Kyle McCord is moving on from Nebraska, @PeteNakos_ reports.
Nebraska was the odds-on favorite to land McCord after he and fellow Ohio State transfer wide receiver Julian Fleming visited Lincoln. As of Dec. 8, the Huskers led the pack with +250 odds to land the former Ohio State signal caller.
Fleming posted on his social media that he was in Lincoln, but there were no such posts from McCord. The other teams that had odds to land McCord were the Texas A&M Aggies with +300 odds and the Florida State Seminoles with +400 odds. McCord was on campus at Lincoln Monday, but On3’s Pete Nakos confirms the Huskers will not be in the mix.
“Ohio State transfer quarterback Kyle McCord was on campus at Nebraska on Monday,” Nakos said. “Coming out of that visit, multiple sources now tell On3 that McCord will be moving forward with his recruitment, keeping his options open and looking at another batch of schools. The Huskers will not be in the mix.”
McCord faced a lot of scrutiny from Ohio State fans and was not guaranteed a starting job with the Buckeyes moving forward. In an article from Cleveland.com, Ohio State teammates like Jack Sawyer expressed their displeasure with the way McCord was treated.
“I really felt bad for him how he was treated after those games, and I don’t think it was fair,” Sawyer said. “I think I understand that, at Ohio State, the quarterback’s expected to win games. I don’t think at all that it’s his fault that we lost that game at Ann Arbor.
