Now that the college football season is complete, with the Ohio State football program taking home the program’s ninth-ever national championship, we’re going to hear about NFL draft declarations and some transfer news. After all, it’s a year-round news cycle now, and although many in Buckeye Nation are still basking in the glow of all the glory Monday night, the world doesn’t stop spinning.
We already knew that backup quarterback Devin Brown had entered the transfer portal, but he stayed on board to finish up the national championship run. We hear rumors of his transfer destination, but nothing was official … until now.
According to multiple reports, Brown has decided to transfer to Cal after three years wearing the Scarlet and Gray. Had he decided to stay, it was unlikely that he would be handed the starting job with Julian Sayin’ the likely solution for next year, with five-star prospect Tavien St. Clair as well as Lincoln Kienholz also in the mix.

Brown, a former top 50 recruit, spent three seasons in Columbus. He’s one of the top available QBs in the @247SportsPortal rankings.https://t.co/MmZI0qSols pic.twitter.com/B8mmG531pM

Brown should be commended for sticking things out in Columbus and it’s hard to blame him for making this move at this time. He will have every opportunity to win the starting job next year in Berkley.
