Ohio State has had some of the best quarterbacks in the country over the past few years, but the best one to maybe wear a scarlet and gray jersey during that span is C. J. Stroud.
Stroud was an absolute star in the two seasons he started at Ohio State in 2021 and 2022, but the only issue was that he could never take down Michigan.
When you play quarterback for the Buckeyes, the number one goal is to beat Michigan, and even though Stroud failed to do it, he still had a great college career and ended up the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans.
Stroud has quickly become one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, and he hasn’t even made it through two full seasons. Some are crowing him as the next guy who could rival Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes.
Stroud still has a long way to go in his NFL career and is still very young. On Thursday, he turned 23 years old, and many Ohio State fans took to social media to wish one of their favorite Buckeyes a Happy Birthday.
