The Ohio State Buckeyes have lost countless players to both the NCAA Transfer Portal and the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, but they still do have a few starters that might end up sticking it out and staying with the program next season.
The Ohio State Buckeyes have started to get active in the portal, bringing in Terry Moore from the Duke Blue Devils to help bolster the program's defensive unit. He was an All-ACC selection and will have one year of eligibility remaining.
On Sunday, Jan. 11, more bad news was dished out as the program was informed that sophomore defensive lineman Eric Mensah had officially committed to transferring to Virginia Tech and join James Franklin, the program's new head coach.
Amid an offseason that's seen countless Ohio State Buckeyes leave and enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, the team received a little boost with a critical defensive signing in safety Earl Little Jr. from Florida State.
The Buckeyes fell short once again in the playoffs after being considered the favorite to win the national title. The two teams who beat Ohio State this season are playing for the national championship.
