Ohio State RB Chip Trayanum enters transfer portal as grad student

Ohio State running back Chip Trayanum, who took on a significant role after arriving at the school as a linebacker, entered the transfer portal Wednesday as a graduate student.

Trayanum, who started his college career at Arizona State, ranks second on the team with 373 rushing yards and three touchdowns this season, including the game-winning score in the final minute Sept. 21 at Notre Dame.

Injuries repeatedly thrust Trayanum into action for the Buckeyes, and he started last year's game against Michigan in Columbus.

The Akron, Ohio, native played running back at Arizona State for two years but was pegged to play defense for the Buckeyes when he transferred.
