Joe Burrow played college football at two different universities. He first enrolled at Ohio State in 2015, where he redshirted as a freshman before playing sparingly as a reserve during the 2016 and 2017 seasons. Burrow then transferred to Louisiana State University (LSU) as a graduate transfer, allowing him to play as the Tigers starting quarterback for two seasons, capped off by an all-time great season by both a quarterback and a team, as LSU went 15-0 to win the national championship and Burrow won the Heisman Trophy.
