When it comes to football, the Herbstreit family name is one that carries a lot of weight. Kirk Herbstreit, the former Ohio State quarterback turned ESPN college football analyst, has seen his sons follow in his footsteps and take the field at the collegiate level. And now, with his youngest son Chase Herbstreit, the family tradition continues.
Chase Herbstreit is a rising star in the world of high school football, specifically as a quarterback for the St. Xavier Bombers in Cincinnati, Ohio. Despite being just a sophomore in high school, the young signal caller is already making waves on the recruiting scene, with many top college programs showing interest.
But while Chase may be getting attention from schools across the country, there’s one program that stands out above the rest. According to sources close to the Herbstreit family, Chase has always dreamed of playing for his father’s alma mater, the Ohio State Buckeyes.
It’s not hard to see why Chase would be drawn to Ohio State. His father, Kirk, is an Ohio State legend, having played quarterback for the Buckeyes from 1989-1992. He’s also been a vocal supporter of the program throughout his broadcasting career, frequently covering their games and giving his insights on their success.
But beyond just the family connection, Ohio State is also one of the premier football programs in the country. The Buckeyes consistently field talented teams that compete for national championships, and they have a history of developing quarterbacks who go on to successful careers in the NFL.
For Chase, the opportunity to play for Ohio State would be a dream come true. And while he still has a few years of high school left to play, it’s clear that he’s already working hard to make that dream a reality. With his talent and potential, it’s likely that many other schools will come calling for Chase’s services. But if he has his way, he’ll be wearing scarlet and gray in the not-too-distant future.
In the end, the decision will ultimately be up to Chase. He’ll need to weigh his options and choose the program that’s the best fit for him both on and off the field. But regardless of where he ends up, it’s clear that the Herbstreit football legacy will continue to live on for years to come.
