Ohio State's Joe Burrow: Exits spring as Buckeyes' backup

Burrow is in line to be Ohio State's backup quarterback behind J.T Barrett, Brian Bennett of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

With Cardale Jones no longer in the picture, it was unclear who would step up to become next in line at quarterback behind Barrett. Burrow, who was impressive in the spring game with 196 yards and three scores through the air, has the backup spot locked down. Furthermore, fellow backup quarterback Stephen Collier underwent season-ending ACL surgery on Wednesday, so Burrow will only have to compete with incoming freshman Dwayne Haskins when fall camp gets underway.
