Buckeyes wide receiver Bryson Rodgers plans to enter transfer portal
COLUMBUS — Ohio State wide receiver Bryson Rodgers plans to enter the transfer portal, he told On3’s Hayes Fawcett on Sunday evening.
Rodgers ranked as the No. 358 player according to the 2023 On3 Industry Ranking. He also was the No. 55 wide receiver and the No. 67 player in the state of Florida for his recruiting class.
After redshirting this fall, he’ll have four years of eligibility at his next stop.
The news comes after Rodgers generated plenty of positive buzz during the week of Cotton Bowl prep — and the entire month of December.
His potential as a slot receiving weapon will have to be realized elsewhere. He’s planning to hit the transfer portal and find a new home.

Ohio State wide receiver Bryson Rodgers was the lowest-ranked wide receiver to sign with the Buckeyes last recruiting cycle, but he immediately began turning heads after a good first offseason, especially after he enrolled last January and got to work early.

He’s earned a nickname from star receiver Emeka Egbuka:
“Mr. Consistent,” Egbuka said. “I mean, I say it all the time. There’s that statistic I said from fall camp. It was like, the wildest catch percentage I’ve ever seen. But that’s truly what Bryson is. And he’s continuing to do that throughout the months and throughout the season. He’s a reliable young guy with great hands, great routes. Obviously, he’s a little slimmer type of frame. But I have no question that coach Mick is going to get him in that weight room and get him right in that sense.”
Rodgers just works hard and doesn’t say much, leading Ohio State to be impressed with how he operates.
“Bryson’s really done a good job, continuing to grow,” Hartline said. “And those two guys [Inniss and Rodgers] really provide a bright future for the wide out room.”
