You probably already know the details.
Braxton Miller, the Buckeyes’ two-time Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year went down with a severe shoulder injury in the preseason and redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett stepped in. Barrett overcame early struggles and became a Heisman candidate before fracturing his ankle in the season finale against Michigan. Third-stringer Cardale Jones then stepped in and improbably led the Buckeyes to a Big Ten title win, a College Football Playoff semifinal win and a CFP title.
All three can return, but rumors have swirled that Miller may pursue a graduate transfer for his final season of college football.
The rumor mill has linked Miller to various schools in need of a quarterback, including Florida State.
Based on these two tweets (the first reads “Braxton to Tally” – as in Tallahassee, not “Braxton totally”) Florida State cornerback Jalen Ramsey certainly seems to be in favor of that move coming to fruition.

— Jalen L. Ramsey (@JR8_Noles) January 13, 2015 After Monday night’s game, Miller told ESPN that he hasn’t made a decision about his future yet and is continuing to rehab his shoulder. If he did decide to transfer, Miller would not have to sit out for a season because he has already graduated.
Meanwhile, Barrett told SI.com that he doesn’t think any of the three will leave. Jones, a redshirt sophomore, could enter the 2015 NFL Draft and has until Jan. 15 to decide, though he did say on Tuesday that he's "not ready for that level yet."
“I’m not leaving. I don’t think Braxton is leaving. I don’t think Cardale is leaving. That’s being honest,” Barrett said. “With that, I mean, it’s just competition. It’s part of football. It’s what we’re about to do.”
