Former Heisman winner Joe Burrow: ‘I went to school at Ohio State; I played football at LSU’
Joe Burrow is responsible for the single greatest quarterback season in LSU history.
While leading one of the best college football offenses we’ve ever seen, Burrow won the Heisman Trophy and a national title with the Tigers in 2019.
You would think the college Burrow claims would be cut and dry, but Ohio State fans have tried to claim the Ohio native, who never started a game for the Buckeyes but earned a degree from the school before transferring.
The now-Bengals quarterback set the record straight on Wednesday.
“I always say I went to school at Ohio State, I played football at LSU,” Burrow said. “That’s how I think about it.”

Burrow, who plays professionally in Ohio, certainly has strong ties to both schools. But there’s no denying he’s best remembered for suiting up in the purple and gold.
