For the second year in a row, Ohio State has turned to the transfer portal to fill an area of need on its offense.
In 2019, the Buckeyes found their new starting quarterback and a one-year upgrade at left guard by bringing both Justin Fields and Jonah Jackson to Columbus after they entered the transfer portal. On Sunday, the Buckeyes did it again when they landed a commitment from former Oklahoma running back Trey Sermon.
A graduate transfer, Sermon has one remaining year of eligibility and will be able to play immediately in 2020, which is why the Buckeyes are bringing him in.
