Even though Ohio State lost 14 players to the transfer portal and hasn’t yet added one, Ryan Day says all but one or two of the Buckeyes’ 85 allotted scholarships for the 2024 season would be accounted for based on who they expect to have on next year’s roster right now.
That, along with multiple other comments Day made during Wednesday’s National Signing Day press conference, suggests Ohio State is confident it will get many of its top draft-eligible players back for another season.
“I'm optimistic because I think a lot of these guys feel like there's some unfinished business here, and there's a great opportunity to come back and have a great team on all three phases and both sides of the ball,” Day said.
