As Ohio State opened spring ball on Monday, what is expected to be a six-month quarterback battle began. Kyle McCord and Devin Brown will fight for the starting job throughout spring practice and fall camp, but the latter looks different than he did last season.
Brown, a former five-star recruit in the class of 2022, was rocking a new number that will take some getting used to. The No. 15 jersey he wore last season is no longer.
Instead, Brown will be throwing it way back to the 1930s.

Ohio State football began its spring practice on Tuesday and fans are already panicked. Video from the morning showed star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. returning punts, which was not what Buckeyes fans had hoped to see.
Harrison, a junior, is set to be one of the top pass-catchers – if not the top pass-catcher — selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. Harrison Jr., the son of a Pro Football Hall of Famer, is an absolute freak.
Not only does Harrison stand 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, he runs a 4.6ish 40-yard dash and has a catch radius that is simply unmatched on the collegiate level.

The Black Friday game will be available for free on Prime Video. NFL fans won’t have to subscribe to Amazon Prime to watch the big game the day after Thanksgiving.

Playing on the same team as LeBron James comes with an extra level of scrutiny, as those teams are consistently expected to win an NBA championship every year. Nobody knows how tough it is more than JR Smith.
While appearing on Game Theory with Bomani Jones, Smith explained what it was like to play on Lebron’s team.
“It’s a gift and a curse playing with Bron,” he said.
