Transfers don't typically flood to Ohio State for playing time. In fact, it's usually the other way around. Since Urban Meyer's arrival, the Buckeyes have typically had a surplus of talent at every position resulting in players becoming buried on the depth chart.
When Ohio State gets a transfer player, they don't typically play a vital role or fill a void. Wide Receiver Jeff Greene transferred from Georgia Tech and finished his Buckeye career with just two receptions. Alabama transfer center Chad Lindsay didn't play a snap at Ohio State, nor did Notre Dame transfer tight end Chase Hounshell.
