URBAN MEYER SAYS TOP COLLEGE FOOTBALL QB ENTERING TRANSFER PORTAL 'MADE NO
SENSE'

By Zach McKinnell,

1 day ago

Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord made the surprising decision to enter the
NCAA transfer portal earlier this week.

McCord completed 65.8% of his passes for 3,170 passing yards, 24 passing
touchdowns, and six interceptions this season. He led the Buckeyes to an 11-1
record with impressive wins over Notre Dame and Penn State.

Former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer is still trying to rationalize McCord's
decision to leave the Buckeyes. He shared his thoughts on the most recent
episode of Urban's Take with Tim May .



"That made no sense," Meyer said. "I’m still trying to comprehend it. I tried to
take a position of Kyle or even Ohio State, and it just doesn’t compute. He had
a good year. I mean they beat Notre Dame as a first-time starter, three new
offensive linemen. You know, he’s on the 37-yard line. He threw two
interceptions in the Wolverine game that weren’t his fault... Marvin’s got to
finish the route and then on the other one, he got hit. So he got to his third
read on the play, so it took him all the way back to the back-side in route. I’m
talking about the final play against the Wolverines.

"I’m trying to make it compute because I want to be empathetic and I want to
say, ‘OK, I understand.’ There’s no place better for Kyle than Ohio State. That
place does not exist unless he’s being guaranteed a starting spot,” Meyer
continued. “But once again, I don’t agree with that’s the best place. I think
iron sharpens iron, steel sharpens steel. The best thing that anybody can ever
do is go and compete your tail off, get better, and maximize who you are as a
player.”



McCord is the No. 20 overall prospect and No. 8 quarterback in the NCAA transfer
portal, according to On3 Sports . Nebraska is the current favorite to land
McCord this offseason, but he has met with multiple other Power-Five programs
since his transfer.

The 6-foot-3, 215-pound quarterback signed with the Buckeyes as a five-star
prospect out of Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. McCord was the No. 25 overall prospect
and No. 5 quarterback in the class of 2021, according to the On3 industry
rankings .

Ryan Day and Ohio State blamed the 3rd loss in a row on McCord. I don’t blame
him for leaving. Ryan Day had to scapegoat someone. He won’t admit he’s a
mediocre coach at a great institution.

Follow the money: Name, Image, and Likeness. He is testing the market. College
sports have become lucrative. Don’t be surprised if he lands in Colorado.
