Roster turnover is the one certainty in college football, particularly in the transfer portal era, and no program is immune.
Whether natural departures due to eligibility expiration, transfers or anything else, Ryan Day's 2022 roster is missing no less than 27 players from its 2021 squad.
The most notable names include Thayer Munford, Nicholas Petit-Frere, Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jeremy Ruckert, Haskell Garrett, Antwuan Jackson and Bryson Shaw.
Many of those on the move offered significant leadership to last season's team with Munford, Olave and Garrett serving as three of Ohio State's six captains.
Despite the gaps in leadership and production created by player vacancies, Ohio State figures to be in great shape in both areas and one reason is the number of players still on the roster dating all the way back to the 2017 and 2018 recruiting cycles.
