For the third year in a row, a player who transferred to Ohio State in the offseason is making a major impact for the Buckeyes. This one, though, didn’t come with nearly as much fanfare as the last two.
When Justin Fields transferred to Ohio State in 2019, he was expected to be the star quarterback that he ultimately proved to be. When Trey Sermon transferred to Ohio State in 2020, he was expected to be the key player that he ultimately became, leading the Buckeyes in rushing and almost singlehandedly leading Ohio State to a Big Ten Championship Game win over Northwestern by breaking the school rushing record.
