Ohio State Transfer Needs: Buckeyes Still Have Big Holes to Fill 10 Days After Portal Opening
Eleven Warriors • • sports
Key Points:
- Ohio State has added seven potential starters through the transfer portal but still needs to fill key positions such as cornerback, defensive end, and kicker for the 2026 season.
- The Buckeyes currently have no kicker on the roster and face challenges filling cornerback spots after losing multiple players to the transfer portal and NFL draft.
- Defensive end remains a priority, with Ohio State targeting transfers like Alabama's Qua Russaw, while defensive tackle depth is being addressed with recent commitments from UCF and potential additions from Alabama and Pittsburgh transfers.
- Ohio State has bolstered safety with transfers Earl Little Jr. and Terry Moore but still seeks more experienced depth at cornerback and running back, as well as a quarterback with experience to complement younger players
