In college football, there seems to be a trend taking over for players who hold the touted quarterback position: riding flashy wheels!

Following after former Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud, last month Buckeye quarterback Kyle McCord made huge headlines after flashing his new 2023 Mercedes-AMG GT 53 whip.

Now, another big-shot passer is making headlines for expensive wheels.
