Ohio State Buckeyes gets five-star quarterback commitment
Meanwhile, the Ohio State Buckeyes is proving once again that it is a star quarterback magnet after 2021 commit Kyle McCord received a five-star rating.

Kyle McCord spent his high school career as part of the football team in St. Joseph’s Prep in Pennsylvania. He has earned a reputation for his fantastic throwing ability.
