Ohio State once again can’t close on a transfer portal prospect, commits to Alabama

The search for a transfer tight end continues

The Buckeyes have not had much luck with transfer portal prospects this cycle. Two of their offensive line targets ([autotag]Ajani Cornelius[/autotag] and [autotag]Jeremiah Byers[/autotag]) visited but opted to go elsewhere.

[autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] had a chance to change that narrative with Maryland tight end [autotag]CJ Dippre[/autotag], who was choosing between the Buckeyes and Alabama. Unfortunately, this one did not go Ohio State’s way. On Tuesday, Dippre chose the Crimson Tide as his next destination.

This isn’t how Day saw this going. Tight end might not be at the forefront of team needs, but it is on the list.

The Buckeyes will most likely lose [autotag]Cade Stover[/autotag], and there is not much returning depth behind him. It looks like Ohio State is back to searching for another tight end.
