Former Ohio State Football Star Kyle McCord Decommits from Syracuse, Commits to Ohio State
In a stunning turn of events, former Syracuse football commit Kyle McCord, a highly touted quarterback prospect, has announced that he is decommitting from the Syracuse Orange and committing to Ohio State University. McCord, who had initially pledged to Syracuse earlier in his recruitment, made the announcement on December 22, sending shockwaves through the college football landscape.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound quarterback from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, had long been one of the most coveted prospects in the 2024 class. His decision to flip his commitment to Ohio State marks a significant shift in the recruitment battle for one of the nation’s top quarterback talents. McCord’s decision comes just months after Ohio State extended an offer, recognizing his impressive arm strength, accuracy, and leadership skills.
McCord’s commitment to Ohio State adds to the Buckeyes’ growing list of elite recruits. The program, under head coach Ryan Day, has consistently been a powerhouse in developing quarterbacks, and McCord is seen as a potential future star in the Buckeyes’ system. Ohio State has a rich tradition of producing top-tier quarterbacks, and McCord’s addition is a major boost for the team’s future prospects.
Ohio State’s recruiting efforts have also been helped by the recent success of quarterback C.J. Stroud, who has been a standout for the Buckeyes in recent seasons. Stroud’s success in both college and the NFL has likely played a key role in McCord’s decision to choose Ohio State over Syracuse, where he had previously committed after an initial interest in the Orange.
McCord’s decision has already made waves in the college football world, with experts predicting that his move to Ohio State could solidify the program’s already strong position as a national contender in the coming seasons. With McCord now in the fold, the Buckeyes are looking stronger than ever as they prepare for another season of high expectations.
