Ohio State football 2019 departure tracker

We’ve got your tracker of what players Ohio State is losing this year to graduation and early departures, and who decided to come back.

Ohio States’s football season is over, but that just means we’re starting to turn the page on who will return, who graduates, but most importantly, which players who are eligible for the draft after three years will come back and be a Buckeye or decide to head to the NFL.

At this point we’ve heard from everyone that had that decision to make, so we know what the coaching staff will be working with next year. So you can keep track of it all in one spot, here’s who’s leaving because of graduation, who’s coming back, and who has decided to forgo another year and enter the NFL Draft.

We’re just going with key players to, not deep into the depth chart. So here we go.

Lost to Graduation:

Binjimen Victor – Wide-Receiver
K.J. Hill – Wide-Receiver
Austin Mack – Wide-Receiver
Jonah Jackson – Offensive Line
Robert Landers – Defensive Line
DaVon Hamilton – Defensive Line
Malik Harrison – Linebacker
Jordan Fuller – Safety
Damon Arnette – Cornerback

Early Departure Staying:

Josh Myers – Center
Wyatt Davis – Right Guard
Thayer Munford – Left Tackle
Drue Chrisman – Punter
Shaun Wade – Cornerback

Early Departure Leaving:

Jeff Okudah – Cornerback
Chase Young – Defensive Back
J.K. Dobbins – Running Back

That’s it for the key players from the 2019 season. The early departures were expected, while some of the ones that were coin-flips resulted in Ohio State getting some much needed experience and talent back.

All in all, it’s a win for Ohio State heading into next year. Getting three guys back on one of the best offensive lines in the country, as well as having Shaun Wade for another year should make this team one of the best in the country again next year.
