Joe Burrow left Ohio State for LSU and the rest is history
Burrow signed with Ohio State as a 4-star recruit from the 2015 class. He was with the Buckeyes for three seasons, redshirting his first year with the Buckeyes. Over the next two years, Burrow saw limited action. He was hoping to win the starting job entering the 2018 season, but former first-round pick Dwayne Haskins won the job after Burrow was injured in the spring and the decision was made to transfer for a shot to play.
After getting his degree in just three years, Burrow was able to grad transfer and ended up landing with LSU. Burrow is now a legend after winning the Heisman and national championship before being the No. 1 pick of the Bengals.
Now, he’s on the verge of winning the Super Bowl in just his second professional campaign. Burrow is being looked at as a rockstar right now and understandably so. He’s living the dream.
