Nebraska Cornhuskers Are New Betting Favorite to Land Ohio State Buckeyes QB Kyle McCord

The latest betting odds have Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Kyle McCord staying in the Big Ten Conference and transferring to the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

A new team has emerged as the favorite to land Ohio State Buckeyes starting quarterback Kyle McCord: the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

The Cornhuskers have +250 odds to add McCord from the transfer portal, followed by the Texas A&M Aggies (+300) and Florida State Seminoles (+400).

Other teams with a shot as signing the former Buckeyes signal-caller are the Oregon Ducks at +400 odds, Miami Hurricanes at +500 odds and Oklahoma Sooners at +700. The team with the worst odds to add McCord to their roster is the Maryland Terrapins, sitting at the bottom of the list with +2500 odds.

McCord's entrance into the transfer portal surprised many around Ohio State, including fans and media. The junior signal-caller had a solid year commanding the offense of the 11-1 Buckeyes, but received a lot of criticism whenever he would make a mistake.

The Mount Laurel, New Jersey-native threw for 3,170 yards and 14 touchdowns over this year's 12 games. McCord had several notable moments through the year, including a game-winning drive against the then-No. 9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish on September 23 in South Bend, Indiana.

However, one of the rough patches that will stain McCord's image in the eyes of Ohio State fans is the loss to the then-No. 3 Michigan Wolverines in the regular-season finale on November 25. McCord threw two interceptions in what would end up as a 30-24 defeat for the Buckeyes.

Despite a handful of mistakes, McCord consistently improved over his first year as a starting quarterback, and will be in high demand now that he is looking for greener pastures.
