Quarterback recruiting drama is nothing new for Ohio State as just about every Buckeye recruiting class in the past decade has included twists and turns at the QB position.
in the recruiting class of 2024. Raiola was fully expected to be Ohio State’s quarterback of the future, and replacing him with another quarterback of similar caliber in his class will be no easy task.
With Dwayne Haskins, Justin Fields and C.J. Stroud all becoming Heisman Trophy candidates and first-round NFL draft picks , Ohio State has had as much success at the quarterback position as any other school over the past five years.
That forced Ohio State to chase a late addition to the class at the quarterback position, but it all ended up working out for the best for the Buckeyes when they were able to flip Dwayne Haskins from Maryland in January. While Wallace never played a snap at Oregon, Haskins went on to shatter Ohio State’s single-season records for passing yards and touchdowns during his lone season as the Buckeyes’ starter in 2018.
Fortunately for the Buckeyes, they got the better end of the trade with Georgia when Fields transferred from Georgia to Ohio State in January, giving them an immediate successor to Haskins and one of Ohio State’s best quarterbacks ever for the next two seasons. The Buckeyes had already begun pursuing Fields before Mathis’ flip, so they likely would have gotten him even if Mathis had signed, but adding a transfer quarterback became a necessity for Ohio State when Mathis dropped out of the class.
