Matt Zenitz evaluates transfer-portal impact, latest roster updates for Buckeyes
COLUMBUS — Ohio State has not been free from both the gains and losses of college football’s transfer portal.
The Buckeyes have seen uber talents like Justin Fields, Trey Sermon, Jonah Jackson and others enter the program and shine in star roles. Of late, though, Ohio State has been one of the many, many teams to see attrition via the portal.
Thus far, six former Ohio State players have entered the transfer portal ever since the loss to Michigan in November that ended the regular season.
Quarterbacks Quinn Ewers, Jack Miller and walk-on Jagger LaRoe and three defensive players – linebacker Craig Young, cornerback Ryan Watts and defensive lineman Darrion Henry-Young – have all chosen to end their careers as Buckeyes and seek a new home.
On the latest edition of the Tim May Podcast, Lettermen Row’s Tim May is joined by On3 senior national college football reporter Matt Zenitz.
Zenitz has been on top of any and all transfer portal information throughout the sport over the last few months for On3. He takes a deep dive into how it has already impacted college football, how it has affected Ohio State and what the future holds as we are in the midst of a landscape-shifting time across the sport.
In addition to Zenitz’s expertise, Lettermen Row senior writer Austin Ward also joins the Tim May Podcast.
