Ohio State Safety Kye Stokes Enters Transfer Portal After Two Years with Buckeyes

The exodus of second-year defensive backs continues.

Kye Stokes became the third defensive back from Ohio State’s 2022 recruiting class to announce he was entering the transfer portal when he publicized his decision to leave the Buckeyes just minutes after the portal officially opened Monday morning.

Stokes’ announcement came just hours after fellow second-year defensive backs Jyaire Brown and Ryan Turner made their announcements that they would enter the portal, leaving Sonny Styles as the only remaining defensive back from Ohio State’s 2022 recruiting class on the Buckeyes’ roster.
