Dakorien Moore, a wide receiver from Duncanville, Texas, who is committed to LSU, mentioned that he’s still considering four schools, with Ohio State being one of them. He visited Ohio State during one of their spring practices in March. He was supposed to visit again for the Buckeyes’ spring game on April 13, but it got postponed and rescheduled for April 27. However, due to his commitment to play in the OT7 7-on-7 tournament in Orlando, his plans for the visit were uncertain, as his mother stated they needed to figure things out.
Ja’Had Carter, who committed to Ohio State in January 2023 after transferring from Syracuse, is back in the transfer portal after nearly 16 months. He had a successful tenure at Syracuse, making significant contributions, but struggled with injuries and limited playing time during his time at Ohio State. Carter is now seeking a program where he can have a more prominent role in his final collegiate season.
The highest-rated players in the college football transfer portal era have made significant impacts, with Caleb Williams, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, leading the way. Among the top transfers is a former five-star recruit, Sayin, who transferred from Alabama to Ohio State and is expected to play a key role in the Buckeyes’ quarterback room. Another notable transfer is Evan Stewart, who moved from Texas A&M to Oregon and has expressed his satisfaction with the change.
Other transfers include Eli Ricks, who moved from LSU to Alabama but had a disappointing stint with the Crimson Tide, and Jahmyr Gibbs, who transferred from Georgia Tech to Alabama and had a standout season in 2022, leading to being drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft.
Isaiah Bond, Adonai Mitchell, Denver Harris, Walter Nolen, Kadyn Proctor, Caleb Downs, Travis Hunter, Quinn Ewers, and Caleb Williams are among the other top transfers, each making significant impacts at their new schools.
