Ryan Jacoby is headed to Pitt.
According to a tweet the 6-foot, 5-inches, 310-pound offensive lineman, he is looking for new beginnings in the Steel City. Despite being at Ohio State for three years, Jacoby still has four years of eligibility left. He entered the transfer portal last week, and it didn’t take long to go through the decision-making process.
Unfortunately, Jacoby missed the July 1 window to transfer without penalty, so he will more than likely have to sit out a year and not be eligible until the 2022 season. He could of course try and get a waiver but how the NCAA will treat those with the new deadlines in place because of the one-time transfer rule remains to be seen.

It was clear that Jacoby wasn’t going to be much of a factor in the two-deep depth chart at Ohio State. It makes sense that he goes somewhere where he can get out from underneath a slog of bodies in his way down the road at Pitt.
We wish nothing but the best of luck to Jacoby.
