Devin Brown, Ohio State’s quarterback, may have to wait another year before taking over as starting after Will Howard transferred from Kansas State.
“Honestly, I believe people are cowards. “I think people have this idea in their heads that I’m going to leave and that I’m a quitter, but that’s never been me,” he told reporters on Monday. “These individuals live wherever – their momma’s basement – and they’re saying stuff about me, and they have no idea what’s going on.
“They do not know who I am. They have no idea who I am, and that is who I have always been.”
Brown is beginning his sophomore year. He sat behind Kyle McCord last year after a finger injury derailed his chances of taking the starting role. However, the post became available once McCord transferred to Syracuse following the 2023 season.
Brown began the Cotton Bowl versus Missouri, but his day did not last long. He sustained an ankle injury in the first half and was replaced by Lincoln Kienholz.
He finished the season with 217 passing yards and one touchdown throw in six games.
