Ohio State football 2025 spring transfer portal tracker: Who’s in, who’s out for the Buckeyes

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football’s spring season has ended, meaning transfer portal time has arrived.

The spring portal window opened on April 16, and players have until April 25 to inform their current schools of their intent to enter the portal.

Transfers can commit to and sign with new schools outside the window.

Ohio State lost 14 players to the transfer portal in the winter while adding five newcomers — Ethan Onianwa, Phillip Daniels, Max Klare, CJ Donaldson and Logan George.

The spring window often features less movement, though the Buckeyes have found success in it before with signings such as former offensive tackle Josh Simmons.

As of spring 2025, Ohio State football is actively navigating the transfer portal, reflecting its ongoing commitment to enhance the roster. Players who have entered the portal include key contributors and depth players looking for more playing time or new opportunities elsewhere.The Buckeyes have successfully attracted some high-profile transfers. Among them is a quarterback from a Power Five conference, looking to compete for the starting spot, and a standout wide receiver aiming to bolster the already potent offense. Additionally, a defensive back with significant playing experience adds depth to the secondary, helping to shore up an area of need.Several players from the 2024 roster have opted to enter the transfer portal, including a backup quarterback seeking more opportunities and a linebacker looking to find a program that aligns better with his playing style. Some younger players are also exploring options for better playing time as they develop.

As the spring progresses, Ohio State’s coaching staff will continue to evaluate both incoming transfers and those leaving, focusing on building a competitive squad for the upcoming 2025 season. Fans are eager to see how these moves will shape the team’s performance in the fall.
