He graduated from OSU in 3 years so is playing as a graduate student right now. He redshirted his freshman year at OSU then played the next 2 years albeit in only a few games. He has played for LSU for 2 years so his eligibility is up. He is expected to be a top pick in the 2020 draft.
An interesting article about Burrow’s career and his decision making.

“There is [California] poor, and then there’s Ohio poor”. We’re talking about an old mobile home at the end of a dirt driveway just off the highway at the edge of the field and bordering some thicket.
I live in Appalachia. I can show you homes the average human could not comprehend.
I guess my question is how many years of eligibility does he have left?
Thank you!
I think quarterback is one position, that requires as much experience as possible before you’re drafted. Wide outs, defensive guys, maybe, can enter the draft early, but I don’t know of many if any quarterbacks who entered the draft early and were successful.
Case in point is this Johnny Mizell, Mr. Football guy.
I’m thinking, EVERYBODY is telling him to enter the draft early. He had another year left for college, maybe two, but for sure one more, if you stay in college one more year, you’ll break all existing records, and probably take your team to a championship...and therefore you will always...always be a hero in Texas regardless what happens.
Instead, he goes early, and bombs...and bombs bad.
I think the guy, like Galen Hurts of Oklahoma, would have stabilized with another year in college.
Galen Hurts is turning out to be a nice surprise.
Is it Jalen or Galen?
Teams can turn around on a dime these days, just look at the Niners this year.
Burrow at least will put butts in seats in Cincinnati.
As a former lifelong Bengals fan, Mike Brown (the owner) will insure Joe Burrow’s career is destroyed.
One of the best speeches ever was John Cappelletti. I have to hear his speech, since I didn’t know it was last weekend...
Here’s a link, not long but does have other items
besides his speech. skip ads, etc to the speech.

You a Clemson or Alabama guy?
You know that no Florida team is gonna make it next year...C,mon man.
My team, Penn State has a better chance than any FL team, and Penn State doesn't have a prayer.
The Big 10, err 14, err 16 have too many good, not great teams that beat the snot out of each other.
The last Heusman winner from LSU was Billy Cannon, 1959 I believe.
I love this Burrow kid, & I know zilch about football.
May he live long & prosper & maybe run for public office one day.
Burrow and Cannon are the only two from LSU
Here is something to ponder! The first three winners are from schools that doesn’t have football, University of
or Chicago or deemphasize football (Yale).
The 1935 Chicago Maroons football team was an American football team that represented the University of Chicago in the Big Ten Conference (Big Ten) during the 1935 college football season. In their third season under head coach Clark Shaughnessy, the Maroons compiled a 4–4 record (2–3 against Big Ten opponents), finished in sixth place in the Big Ten, and were outscored by their opponents by a combined total of 110 to 102.[1][2]
In December 1935, Chicago halfback Jay Berwanger became the first recipient of a trophy from the Downtown Athletic Club intended to honor “the most valuable player east of the Mississippi.”[3] John Heisman was then the club’s athletic director,[4] and after Heisman’s death in October 1936 the trophy was expanded to become a national honor and named the Heisman Trophy.[5]
