Joe Burrow was one of the hottest players on this year’s graduate transfer market, and he eventually chose LSU over Cincinnati and North Carolina.
Now, the former Ohio State quarterback is officially a part of the Tigers, as the team made his signing official on Monday afternoon.

As a graduate transfer, Burrow will be eligible to play right away, meaning he could surpass Lowell Narcisse, Justin McMillan and Myles Brennan to land the LSU starting job.
The Tigers are counting on him to become a star, and now he can officially get started on his career in Baton Rouge.
