With the Cincinnati Bengals set to take on the Houston Texans and quarterback C.J. Stroud, there’s the interesting Joe Burrow-Ohio State University conversation going on again.
By now, most fans of college and/or pro ball know the drill. Burrow spent three years in Columbus before transferring to LSU in 2018, going on to have a historic level of success before returning to Ohio via the NFL draft.
Asked why Ohio State doesn’t claim him as a quarterback though, Burrow wasn’t so sure.
“I don’t know,” Burrow said. “You’d have to ask them.”
He then elaborated on his stance: “I always say I went to school at Ohio State and played football at LSU. That’s how I think about it.”
Back when he was stuck with the Buckeyes, Burrow had actually plotted a non-football career path given how things were going. Whether Buckeyes fans get to claim Burrow is a hot debate.
If nothing else, now there’s a little more clarity on where Burrow stands on the topic.
