Nebraska football: Tweet talks Ohio State grad transfer’s ‘next challenge’
Ohio State potential grad transfer and potential Nebraska football target Joe Burrow gets another hint that he is indeed leaving.
Will he or won’t he. That’s the question regarding Ohio State quarterback Joe Burrow that more people than just Nebraska football coaches are asking.
The Joe Burrow saga has been going on longer than any other grad transfer saga thanks in large part because people have been trying to read the tea leaves since before 2018 officially kicked off.
Burrow is a talented young quarterback who has found himself in a tough situation with the Buckeyes. He certainly believes he has the talent to start for OSU.

So far, Urban Meyer has not agreed. After the Ohio State spring game, Burrow talked about the possibility that he might move on.

On Sunday night, Burrow’s father, Jimmy Burrow fueled the grad transfer talk again. Jimmy Burrow, by the way is a former Nebraska football player.
on Sunday night he tweeted out, “Proud of Joe . On to the next challenge .” Alongside that caption was a picture of the Burrows standing with Joe in his graduation garb. Jimmy, who is also a position coach with former Husker head coach Frank Solich‘s Ohio Bobcats, was quite succinct.
The tweet could have meant, of course that Burrow’s move onto the next challenge was just about graduation. It’s more likely that a veteran of the college football world knows exactly how people would take that wording.
Joe has not said one way or the other whether he is planning on moving on before the fall. Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer seems to be keeping who will be the starting quarterback under his hat precisely because of the chance that the new grad might leave.
There is aslo no guarantee that if Joe Burrow does leave he would come to the Nebraska football team. There’s not even a guarantee that Scott Frost and company want him. It does seem like a decent fit. For now we continue to sit and wait and see if that smoke has a fire attached.
