The Ohio State Buckeyes are laying out the red carpet for recent transfer Justin Fields, who announced his official decision to join the Buckeyes on Friday.

The No. 1 quarterback of the 2018 recruiting class and former Georgia Bulldog was in attendance Saturday as the Ohio State men’s basketball team battled Michigan State. And sitting right alongside the young quarterback was none other than Dwayne Haskins and Urban Meyer.

Is that a torch being passed, we wonder?

It sure looks like the Buckeyes are sending a strong message about who the favored son will be next spring when the quarterback competition heats up, assuming Haskins leaves for the NFL as expected, of course.
