After failing in the CFP, Ohio State football loses two players via the transfer portal.
Two Ohio State football players used the transfer portal after their team was not selected for the College Football Playoffs.
The final four teams that will play for a National Championship next month were revealed by the College Football Playoff Committee on Sunday afternoon. Ohio State football head coach Ryan Day and his Buckeyes were not among the teams who made the cut. The 11-1 Buckeyes’ demise came last week in a close road defeat to Michigan football, a team that Day has now dropped three straight games against.
A little salt was added to Day and his staff’s wounds when the rankings were revealed when it was revealed that two of their players would be entering the transfer portal. According to Hayes Fawcett of On3 Sports on X (previously Twitter), running back Evan Pryor will be the first player to transfer. Later on in the day, defensive back Ryan Turner also revealed on X that he would be leaving Ohio State.
The Buckeyes certainly could have used some better news than this after they didn’t receive the miracle that would have been required to get them into the College football playoff. Due to how crowded the field was this year, Ohio State football would have needed a series of both upsets and expected victories on Saturday in order to stamp their ticket to the final four. Unfortunately for Ryan Day, none of those things took place for his team.
The Buckeyes will now turn their attention to what seems to be a pivotal offseason in terms of determining the organization’s future.
