ALERT: Bryson Rodgers LEAVES for Transfer Portal—Ryan Day and Ohio State Buckeyes at RISK?

Ohio State Buckeyes face a pivotal offseason as wide receiver Bryson Rodgers plans to enter the transfer portal, potentially shaking up the dynamic of Ryan Day’s powerhouse roster. Will Rodgers follow Brian Hartline to USF or find another program where he can shine with two years of eligibility left? Depth chart projections, young stars like Jeremiah Smith and Chris Henry Jr., and NIL considerations create a critical crossroads for top talents aiming for greater playing time and NFL Draft visibility.

Jay Stephens breaks down positions Ohio State must target in the transfer portal, from veteran quarterback depth to offensive tackle and linebacker experience. Fresh faces—including Lincoln Kienholz, Brandon Inniss, and Mylan Graham—could also be on the move, raising questions about the team’s future strategy. Portal moves, playoff aspirations, and coaching changes converge as the Buckeyes prepare for a new era—can Ohio State maintain its championship ambitions amid so much transition?
