J.T. Barrett says Braxton Miller transfer rumors are 'ridiculous'

At least one person is shooting down the Braxton Miller transfer rumors.

It happens to be teammate J.T. Barrett. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports Barrett, speaking with reporters after Thursday's practice, made his feelings clear.

"I'm not Braxton, but being that I do talk to him every day, I think that would be something me and you both be shocked if he was to leave. I think it's ridiculous honestly," Barrett said.

Miller missed last season with a shoulder injury and returns as a senior. He'll be in a battle with Barrett, who set the Big Ten single-season record for touchdowns (45) and Cardale Jones, who led the Buckeyes to wins against Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon en route to the national championship. It's set up to be an unprecedented battle for a starting job heading into 2015.

Miller did not speak with reporters Thursday. Barrett, however, was quick to dispel rumors of a possible transfer. Miller would be able to play right away for another school.

"Some of the things talking about Braxton leaving Ohio State, I think that's really silly," Barrett said.
