Ohio State quarterback Devin Brown has entered the transfer portal after three years as a backup.

Brown announced his intention in a social media post on Sunday, saying he intends to stay with the Buckeyes through the College Football Playoff.

Brown lost a close quarterback competition to Kyle McCord in 2023 and was relegated to a back seat again when the Buckeyes brought in Kansas State transfer Will Howard for 2024.

For 2025, Ohio State has a crowded quarterback room that includes Julian Sayin, who was the top-rated recruit nationally in the 2024 class.

Brown, from Gilbert, Arizona, has thrown for 325 yards and three touchdowns in the past two seasons, mostly in mop-up duty.
