Ohio State QB transfer Kyle McCord reportedly moves on from Big Ten option
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Looks like that Kyle McCord return to Ohio Stadium in 2024 as an Ohio State football opponent will not happen.
Multiple reports Wednesday night said McCord is no longer considering Nebraska as a transfer destination. Both McCord and former OSU receiver Julian Fleming visited the Cornhuskers this week. Nebraska plays at Ohio State next Oct. 26.
McCord entered his name in the NCAA transfer portal the first morning it opened for the winter, on Dec. 4. That ended his three-year tenure with the Buckeyes, including his one season as the starter

Ohio State went 11-1 as McCord earned third team All-Big Ten Conference honors. The loss came in the regular-season finale at Michigan — the team’s third straight loss in the series — which knocked OSU from playoff contention.
McCord received extensive fan criticism following that game. Many of his now-former OSU teammates came to his defense earlier this week, some calling that treatment “unfair.”
