Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord made headlines this week when he decided to enter the winter transfer portal. 

McCord was named the Buckeyes' starting quarterback at the start of the season, beating out Devin Brown. The junior had 3,170 passing yards and 24 touchdown passes as Ohio State went 11-1 during the regular season. The team’s lone loss came against Michigan last month.

The Buckeyes are slated to play Missouri in the Cotton Bowl later this month. It remains unclear whether McCord will suit up for the game. 

Unsurprisingly, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day was noncommittal when asked about McCord’s status.

Urban Meyer, who won a national championship during his head coaching stint at Ohio State, spoke to On3.com and touched on McCord's surprising decision to test the waters via the transfer portal.

"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."

Aside from trying to make sense of McCord's logic, Meyers said that even if another football program offers the quarterback a position as a starter, it likely would not create a better situation than what Ohio State presented.
