Since 2005, Ohio State has started 12, 11, 11, 10, 10, 12, 12, 8, 4, 6, 6, 3, 3, 5, 6, 3, and 5 whites players (no writeup in 2013). In 2023, they will start 6.
The Buckeyes will be starting a white quarterback for the first time since 2011, when former walk-on Joe Bauserman began the at the helm before being replaced mid-season by Braxton Miller. Kyle McCord is the provisional winner of the QB competition, although head coach Ryan Day has said that Devin Brown will see playing time and continue to compete. For what it's worth, Ohio State fan chatter thinks Brown takes the job by the end of the year. McCord was Bryce Young's backup for the past two seasons and has the experience edge. Behind those two, the next two quarterbacks on the roster are also white (!!!).
Ohio State suffers from an abundance of recruiting riches, as usual, which means very black teams. Lately, the receivers have been their top position group, and this year is no exception. This should result in some gaudy passing stats for one of our guys. Cade Stover is a reliable safety valve at tight end as a returning starter.
The offensive line seems to be the major weakness on what would otherwise be a clear-cut playoff contender. Josh Fryar graded poorly last year but will start at left tackle. Redshirt freshman Carson Hinzman takes over at center. Devin Brown is the more nimble of the two quarterbacks; if the line can't hold up against pressure, he may take over the job sooner to add some scrambling/bailout aptitude.
Again as usual, the pickings on defense are slim while punctuated with a couple of absolute studs. Jack Sawyer will be a major contributor as a pass rusher for the third season and could go pro with a solid year. Tommy Eichenberg may have a lower draft grade but has been projected as a first-team All-American at linebacker. The pair will get plenty of positive press throughout the year. When they depart, Gabe Powers, Caden Curry, and Reid Carrico are poised to take over their token spots as white defensive stars.
