What’s the matter with him?

On April 8, Noland gave Ohio State his commitment, securing his spot as the team’s quarterback for the 2024 recruiting class.

As a high school quarterback, he is left-handed and possesses exceptional arm talent and natural poise in the pocket. When necessary, he can be elusive, and when he’s outside the pocket searching for receivers downfield, he always exercises patience. He was a track star in high school, and Ohio State is used to recruiting quarterbacks with his caliber of skill after Ryan Day.

If Noland reaches his potential, he ought to start at quarterback foran Ohio State squad that plays every season to win the championship.

How he fits into the plans of Ohio State

He currently sits behind third-year Devin Brown and second-year Lincoln Kienholz as the team’s quarterbacks. There is a ton of talent in the room, led by the team’s 2025 quarterback commitment, Tavien St. Clair.

Noland will have the opportunity to advance up the depth chart, but he will need to get past players with skill and experience first. If the team doesn’t bring in a transfer quarterback to compete for the starting job, Noland figures to be in the running for the starting job in 2025, but he will have the opportunity to earn his reps as a Buckeye early on.

Projections for 2024

Noland will have an uphill climb to a starting role, but it’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility for him to claim the backup quarterback job in his freshman season.

Ohio State has a bye week before playing Marshall after hosting Akron and Western Michigan to start the season. After hosting Iowa and traveling to Oregon before having another bye week, the Buckeyes will begin Big Ten play on September 28 at Michigan State. To put it briefly, Ryan Day has the option to designate Noland as the starting quarterback if he so desires. However, the schedule is set up such that Noland will see playing time during the first few weeks of the season to become used to the college game.

However, Noland will be a backup quarterback, either the second- or third-stringer, at least initially. It might be asking too much of him to light up, even if he plays a big role.
