Seems like both parties are possibly looking at alternative options to one another. OSU pursued Wonderful Monds, and now it seems Trae Taylor, and something tells me Taylor won't be the only one.
So the reason for OSU falling out of love with Edmunds(this is all rumor) is that he had an injury to his arm during the season and it affected his throwing motion. OSU will watch his Elite 11 film CLOSE, to see if they will further pursue from what I've read(sorry but I can't for the life of me find the article or pod that stated this). But the 2027 class of QBs is on the weaker side, so that is also a reason for OSU to possibly pursue 2. And with the Portal, you're only a transfer away from a starter
