After the contributions Justin Fields and Jonah Jackson made for Ohio State last season, it's impossible to ignore the transfer portal. The Buckeyes haven't added any scholarship players from the transfer portal this offseason yet, but with injuries at running back and a lack of depth in the secondary, it could still be a route for Ohio State to explore if a roster spot opens up later this offseason.
Coming into the offseason, the secondary was one of the thinnest position groups in Columbus as the Buckeyes would have to replace three starters. With the dismissals of Amir Riep and Jahsen Wint, Ohio State is down two more veterans with substantial playing experience.
