Ohio State hasn’t added any new transfers since the end of spring practice, but it’s already accomplished its most important goal for the final transfer window of the offseason.
The transfer portal closed for the final time before the 2024 season when midnight struck Wednesday, and the 15-day post-spring window to enter the portal came and went with Ohio State losing only six backups: Running back Dallan Hayden, wide receiver Kyion Grayes, guard Enokk Vimahi, linebacker Nigel Glover and safeties Ja’Had Carter and Cedrick Hawkins.
None of their departures were shocking or devastating. Ohio State would have liked to keep Hayden to be its third-string running back this season and a potential starter in 2025, but the Buckeyes still have a loaded running back depth chart led by two of the nation’s best ballcarriers in TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins.
