It appears the wait for Ohio State transfer quarterback Joe Burrow's next college stop won't take much longer.

On Thursday, WSYX sports reporter Clay Hall reported that the Burrow camp is "nearing decision", with the likely two candidates being LSU and Cincinnati, the two programs he visited over the past week. Hall, who has been on the Buckeyes beat for more than 20 years, is the sports director at WSYX, WTTE-TV in Columbus, Ohio.

If the report holds true, the Tigers or Bearcats could be getting good news in the near future.

Last week, Burrow announced he was transferring out of Ohio State after he lost out in the race for the starting quarterback job, coming in behind Dwayne Haskins following spring practice. Burrow immediately visited Cincinnati, then took a three-day trip to LSU, where he was able meet Orgeron and the staff for the first time. Burrow was joined on the trip by his father, Ohio University defensive coordinator Jimmy Burrow, his mother and brother.

Though he's seen limited action during his three seasons at Ohio State, Burrow is considered the top transfer name on the market regardless of position, and given he's a college graduate, he now has two years of eligibility remaining and will be able to play immediately this fall at the school of his choosing.

At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, Burrow was 29-for-39 passing (74.4%) for 287 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions during his time on the field with Ohio State. He then turned heads in the program’s spring game this offseason, going 15-for-22 passing for 238 yards and two touchdowns.

Burrow was also one of the nation’s top recruits coming out of high school, winning Ohio’s Mr. Football Award in 2014 after leading The Plains (Athens, Ohio) to the D-III state title game. He left high school ranked by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 8 dual-threat quarterback prospect in the country and the No. 280 overall prospect nationally.

Despite his limited time on the field at Ohio State, Burrow has still edged out LSU’s current roster when it comes to the stat sheet. Sophomore Myles Brennan, only a freshman last fall, leads the way with 14 completions on 24 attempts for 182 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Junior Justin McMillan didn’t throw a pass last season, but did have one pass attempt - a 19-yard completion - during his redshirt freshman year in 2016. Lowell Narcisse has yet to see game action, taking a redshirt during his first year with the program last fall.

Burrow has remained quiet since making a pair of college visits over the past week, choosing not to do interviews as he navigates through the next stage of his collegiate career.
