What’s his deal?
Noland committed to Ohio State on April 8, cementing his place as the team’s quarterback for the 2024 class.
He’s a left-handed quarterback with excellent arm talent and natural poise in the pocket for a high schooler. He’s elusive when he has to be and is sure to stay patient when outside of the pocket looking downfield for receivers. A track athlete in high school, he’s a level of talent at quarterback that Ohio State has grown accustomed to recruiting in the Ryan Day era.
If Noland hits his ceiling, he should be the starting quarterback for an Ohio State team that is battling for a championship each season.
How he fits into Ohio State’s plans
For now, he’s the third quarterback on the roster behind second-year Lincoln Kienholz and third-year Devin Brown. With Tavien St. Clair as the team’s quarterback commitment in the 2025 class, there’s a bevy of talent in the room.
Noland will have the chance to work his way up the depth chart, but he’ll have to pass talented and experienced players along the way. The plan for Noland figures to be tentatively set for him to compete for the starting job in 2025, but he’ll have the chance to earn his reps early on as a Buckeye — if the team doesn’t bring in a transfer quarterback to compete for the starting gig.
Projections for 2024
Noland will have an uphill climb to a starting role, but it’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility for him to claim the backup quarterback job in his freshman season.
Ohio State opens the season with Akron and Western Michigan at home, then has a bye week before a game against Marshall. Big Ten play starts on Sept. 28 at Michigan State, then the Buckeyes will host Iowa and head to Oregon before another bye week. In short, the schedule sets up nicely for Noland to see playing time in the first few weeks of the season to get acclimated to the college game, and there are opportunities for him to be named the starting quarterback if Ryan Day so chooses.
But at least to start, Noland will be a backup quarterback as either the second- or third-stringer. Even if he plays significant time, it might be too much to expect from him to light the world on fire. In an offense with the talent that the Buckeyes have, though, that might be enough.

Crime Gun Intelligence Center opening in Cleveland
CLEVELAND — The Surgeon General has now declared gun violence a public health crisis in America.
He is calling for preventive measures similar to past campaigns against smoking and traffic safety.
The question now is how to fight this crisis, and Cleveland is hoping a new Crime Gun Intelligence Center, modeled after one in Cincinnati, will help.
United States Attorney General Merrick Garland was in Cleveland on Tuesday to announce a new crime gun intelligence center, also known as a CGIC. Garland said CGICs are centralized law enforcement hubs that will help to investigate and prevent gun violence by bringing law enforcement officers and prosecutors together at every level, providing access to firearms tracing technology.
“Through enhanced collaboration and advanced technology, CGIC’s help investigators generate leads to get shooters off the streets and dismantle the trafficking networks that supply violent criminals with their guns,” Garland said.
Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and Cleveland native, Stephen Dettelbach, said the CGICs have the ability to take a particular piece of evidence to help solve gun violence crimes.
“… a shell casing, a fingerprint, a LPR reading, a traffic light camera, a ring camera, and to take that piece of evidence and turn it to actionable intelligence in realtime,” Dettelbach said.
Garland said the CGIC’s across the country are already supporting law enforcement investigations, like the one in Columbus, that helped locate a shell casing from a crime scene in only 2 days, compared to taking 40-60 days before the center.
“No one in this country should have to live in fear of gun violence, no family and community should have to grieve the loss of their loved ones to senseless violence, that is why we are here today. The Northeast Ohio Crime Gun Intelligence Center will help us leverage our partnerships and technological innovation to solve gun crimes and save lives,” Garland said.
But Garland also pointed to obstacles like a new proposal to cut the justice department’s budget by almost $1 billion.
“This effort to defund the justice department and its essential law enforcement functions will make our fight against violent crime all the more difficult. It is unacceptable,” Garland said.
Garland said he thinks the decision by the Surgeon General to declare gun violence as a public health crisis will help draw public attention to the matter.
“This CGIC does not represent the culmination of the justice department’s efforts to stop gun violence in this region, it marks a new chapter,” Garland said.
