Ohio State and LSU both claim Burrow

CINCINNATI, Ohio (WCMH) — During a Thursday media availability, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow says he’s “definitely still a Buckeye” because he graduated from Ohio State and still stays in contact with former teammates and coaches from his playing days in Columbus.

Cincinnati will play the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, Feb. 13.

Burrow left Ohio State after three years for LSU after it became clear Dwayne Haskins would be the Buckeyes’ starter in 2018 when Burrow suffered a broken hand in August leading up to the season.

Burrow redshirted his freshman year and was behind J.T. Barrett on the depth chart in 2016 and 2017.

The rest is history with Burrow transferring to LSU where he led the Tigers to the 2020 national championship in his second year with the team while recording arguably the best season by a college quarterback in NCAA history.
