The Ohio State Buckeyes lost nine players from the offensive side of the ball to the Transfer Portal during the winter transfer window, including a pair of former 5-star quarterbacks and a wide receiver who was ranked ahead of Marvin Harrison, Jr. in the class of 2021.

Just over a week after winning the 2024 College Football National Championship over Notre Dame, it's time to start previewing the 2025 Ohio State football team as it looks to replace a number of veteran leaders.
