**BREAKING: Ryan Day Commends Ex-Ohio State QBs Kyle McCord, Quinn Ewers for Post-Transfer Success**
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has publicly praised former Buckeyes quarterbacks Kyle McCord and Quinn Ewers for their impressive performances following their transfers to new programs. McCord, who spent a significant portion of his college career at Ohio State, has been making headlines with his stellar play at Syracuse. The signal-caller, who started for the Buckeyes last season, has helped lead the Orange to a strong start in the 2024 season. Syracuse is currently 2-0, with McCord’s leadership and passing efficiency playing a crucial role in their success, including a notable victory over a ranked opponent.
Syracuse head coach Fran Brown was particularly effusive in his praise of McCord, joking after their season opener that McCord’s success might warrant a bottle of champagne for Ryan Day. “We’re really fortunate to have him,” Brown said, highlighting McCord’s impact on the team’s early success. Day, who has been following McCord’s progress closely, echoed these sentiments.
In a recent interview with Bucknuts, Day expressed his enthusiasm for McCord’s performance. “He’s off to a great start,” Day commented. “I have only seen a few highlights, but it looks like he’s doing a great job. From what I’ve seen, he’s gotten into a good rhythm and secured a great win this past weekend. It’s always gratifying to see our former players doing well, and I’m happy to see him excelling so far this season.”
Ryan Day’s praise extends beyond McCord. He has also been following Quinn Ewers, who transferred to Texas and has been making waves in the Longhorns’ program. Ewers, who initially began his college career at Ohio State before moving to Texas, has continued to develop into a standout quarterback. Day’s positive comments about Ewers reflect his broader support for his former players, showcasing a strong sense of pride in their continued success.
In addition to McCord and Ewers, Day has also been keeping an eye on other former Buckeyes, such as Cincinnati tight end Joe Royer. This ongoing support highlights Day’s commitment to his players’ growth and success, even after they have moved on from Ohio State. The success of McCord and Ewers serves as a testament to their talent and the foundation they built during their time with the Buckeyes.
