The rate at which Ohio State<\/a> football players have entered the transfer portal<\/a> since the season-ending loss to Miami<\/a> in the College Football Playoff<\/a> quarterfinal Cotton Bowl<\/a> has been unprecedented — and if we’re being honest — a bit overwhelming. We’re keeping track of all the OSU players entering their names into the transfer portal, but there’s also the flip side of that: Players coming to the banks of the Olentangy through the portal to wear the Scarlet and Gray.<\/p>\n

So, while the players looking to leave the banks of the Olentangy have been a lot to take in, we are also keeping you up to speed on newly minted Ohio State players who commit to the Buckeyes<\/a> from the other side to try to continue the high standard set in Columbus.<\/p>\n
