Ohio State has not named a quarterback starter with months to go before the season opener against Indiana. But Kyle McCord has secured a new ride ahead of his third season as a Buckeye.

McCord, a 2021 five-star quarterback out of St. Joseph's Preparatory High School in Philadelphia, posted a photo of a 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53 on his Instagram story with the caption "Appreciate the team (at) Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet for the ride!"

According to Car and Driver, the 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53 starts at $93,550 for a car with "bonkers acceleration from the V-8 models, exotic looks (and) high-end cabin appointments." The website describes McCord's new ride as "the great white shark of luxury performance sedans."

Ahead of the 2021 season, Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer showed off a Chevrolet Silverado from Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet, and has multiple other tweets posing with the truck.

McCord and Devin Brown are the front-runners for Ohio State's starting quarterback job ahead of the 2023 season.

In two seasons with the Buckeyes, McCord, a New Jersey native who was high school teammates with Marvin Harrison Jr., has 41 completions on 58 pass attempts for 606 passing yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions.

Ohio State opens the 2023 season in Bloomington, Indiana Sept. 2 against Indiana. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on CBS.
