More than <b>half the Buckeyes&#8217; roster<\/b> will look completely different heading into the <b>2026 season<\/b>. Head coach <b>Ryan Day<\/b> and his staff engineered a complete rebuild, adding veteran experience at critical positions to offset massive losses to the NFL Draft and the portal.<\/p>\n<div style='background:#f9f9f9;padding:20px;border-left:4px solid #e74c3c;margin:25px 0'>\n<h3 style='margin-top:0'>\ud83d\udd25 Quick Facts<\/h3>\n<ul style='margin:10px 0;padding-left:20px'>\n<li><b>Total Departures<\/b>: 46 scholarship players left Ohio State, including 31 who entered the transfer portal<\/li>\n<li><b>Transfer Additions<\/b>: 16 new players signed from the portal, plus 28 freshmen for 44 total newcomers<\/li>\n<li><b>Deadline<\/b>: Transfer portal window closed at midnight January 19, with a championship team extension through January 24<\/li>\n<li><b>Impact Trades<\/b>: Five-star wide receivers Mylan Graham and Quincy Porter departed to Notre Dame; Alabama defensive tackle James Smith and edge rusher Qua Russaw arrived<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>A Roster Reset Driven by Massive NFL Exodus and Portal Departures<\/h2>\n<p>The <b>transfer portal window<\/b> closed at midnight on January 19, 2026, ending one of the most chaotic offseasons in <b>college football<\/b> history. Ohio State did not escape unscathed. The Buckeyes lost <b>nine players to the NFL Draft<\/b>, including two unanimous All-Americans in safety <b>Caleb Downs<\/b> and linebacker <b>Arvell Reese<\/b>. Wide receiver <b>Carnell Tate<\/b>, after just one season as a starter, also departed for professional opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the NFL exodus, <b>31 scholarship players<\/b> voluntarily entered the transfer portal, leaving <b>Day<\/b> scrambling to fill massive holes across both the offensive and defensive sides. <b>11 players exhausted their collegiate eligibility<\/b>, meaning just over half of Ohio State&#8217;s scholarship roster was wiped clean in a matter of weeks. The <b>departures<\/b> at receiver proved particularly brutal, with <b>five wideouts leaving<\/b>, including former five-star prospects <b>Graham<\/b> and <b>Porter<\/b>, both now at Notre Dame.<\/p>\n<h2>Building Back Better, Older, and More Experienced<\/h2>\n<p>Rather than panic, <b>Ryan Day&#8217;s staff<\/b> executed an aggressive transfer strategy, signing <b>16 portal transfers<\/b> and recruiting a <b>28-man freshman class<\/b>. The emphasis was squarely on experience and immediate impact. Unlike traditional rebuilds that rely on youth development, Ohio State prioritized <b>veteran talent<\/b> who could step in and contribute immediately.<\/p>\n<p>On defense, the Buckeyes landed <b>James Smith<\/b>, the number one defensive lineman in the 2026 transfer portal from Alabama, paired with edge rusher <b>Qua Russaw<\/b> from the same program. Both players bring proven pass-rushing ability and defensive depth to replace <b>Kayden McDonald<\/b>, a two-time All-American. Safety <b>Earl Little Jr.<\/b> from Florida State and <b>Terry Moore<\/b> from Duke give the secondary experience at positions that lost <b>Caleb Downs<\/b> to the NFL. <b>Cam Calhoun<\/b> from Alabama and <b>Dominick Kelly<\/b> from Georgia address corner depth. Linebacker <b>Christian Alliegro<\/b> from Wisconsin replaces lost starters.<\/p>\n<h2>Offensive Retooling with Portal Receivers and Tight Ends<\/h2>\n<p>The offense required equally aggressive moves. <b>Hunter Welcing<\/b> from Northwestern and <b>Mason Williams<\/b> from Ohio were brought in as proven tight end starters. <b>Devin McCuin<\/b>, a three-year starter at UTSA, and <b>Kyle Parker<\/b> from LSU give the wide receiver room immediate contributors after losing five players to the portal and the NFL. Backup quarterback <b>Justyn Martin<\/b> from Maryland and <b>Ja&#8217;Kobi Jackson<\/b>, a seventh-year senior running back from Florida, round out the offensive additions.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps most notably, Ohio State finally addressed its special teams crisis. <b>Connor Hawkins<\/b>, a freshman kicker from Baylor, struck a <b>game-winning 53-yard field goal<\/b> against Kansas State in 2025, a feat the Buckeyes had not accomplished since <b>Blake Haubeil in 2019<\/b>. <b>Dalton Riggs<\/b> was brought in as long snapper from UCF.<\/p>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Position Group<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Departures<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Key Additions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Defensive Line<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>6<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>James Smith, Qua Russaw, John Walker<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Secondary<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>9<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Earl Little Jr., Terry Moore, Cam Calhoun, Dominick Kelly<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Wide Receiver<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>6<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Devin McCuin, Kyle Parker<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Tight End<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>3<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Hunter Welcing, Mason Williams<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Linebacker<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>3<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Christian Alliegro<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<blockquote style='border-left:4px solid #3498db;padding-left:20px;margin:25px 0;font-style:italic;color:#555'><p>\n&#8220;More than half of Ohio State&#8217;s roster of scholarship players will be different in 2026 than it was in 2025. Including 31 transfer portal departures, five early NFL draft entries and 11 players who exhausted their collegiate eligibility, 47 of Ohio State&#8217;s 91 scholarship players from 2025 are no longer with the team.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style='font-size:0.9em;color:#666;margin-top:-15px'>\u2014 <b>Dan Hope<\/b>, Eleven Warriors<\/p>\n<h2>The Winners and Losers of Ohio State&#8217;s Portal Class<\/h2>\n<p>Most departures were backups or rotation players who saw limited opportunities. <b>Tegra Tshabola<\/b>, the only starting offensive lineman to leave, transferred to Kentucky but had struggled with consistency throughout his career. <b>Mylan Graham<\/b> and <b>Quincy Porter<\/b>, however, represented legitimate losses. Both five-star prospects had clear potential to contribute significantly in rotational roles for <b>Ohio State&#8217;s<\/b> aerial attack, particularly with <b>Carnell Tate<\/b> heading to the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Defensive losses included <b>safety Faheem Delane<\/b> to LSU and <b>cornerback Aaron Scott Jr.<\/b> to Oregon. Both had starting-caliber potential. <b>Jarquez Carter<\/b>, a defensive tackle, transferred to Miami and could have been part of the interior rotation. Still, <b>Ohio State&#8217;s<\/b> ability to quickly reload with portal talent means these losses are more tolerable than they might otherwise have been for a program navigating historic roster turnover.<\/p>\n<h2>Can Ohio State&#8217;s Portal Class Keep the Buckeyes Competitive in 2026?<\/h2>\n<p>The eye test suggests <b>Ryan Day&#8217;s<\/b> staff made a calculated gamble on veteran experience over youth development. Key returnees like wide receiver <b>Jeremiah Smith<\/b>, a Heisman Trophy finalist, and quarterback <b>Julian Sayin<\/b> provide stability at star positions. <b>Four of five starting offensive linemen<\/b> return intact, protecting the passing game. The defensive core, bolstered by <b>Alabama transfers Smith and Russaw<\/b> plus <b>Earl Little Jr.<\/b> at safety, should prevent further deterioration on that side of the ball.<\/p>\n<p>Will the <b>portal additions<\/b> prove sufficient to maintain <b>Ohio State&#8217;s<\/b> status as a playoff contender, or has the turmoil created too much uncertainty? Only the 2026 season will tell, but the aggressive moves paint a program determined to win now rather than rebuild for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":37732,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"schema_org_data":"{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[]}","_extracted_celebrities":"","_extracted_movies":"","_extracted_places":"","_extracted_videos":"","_last_enrichment_date":"2026-01-23
