Ohio State football consistently has brought in some of the best recruits and transfers with the most recent being RB CJ Donaldson.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are a program that has developed some of the best of the best at the highest level in football. That’s one reason why they continually get some of the top recruits in the country.

Now, with the transfer portal such a big deal in college athletics, they have consistently gone that route, adding players like Seth McLaughlin and Caleb Downs.

Add another transfer to the list of players taking the field for Ohio State next season. CJ Donaldson Jr., who played for West Virginia this past season, has signed with the Buckeyes.

Donaldson has played the last three seasons with the Mountaineers, spending his freshman season as a tight end before transitioning to running back.

Last season, he played in 13 games and ended the year with 734 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, adding in a career-best 104 receiving yards and a score as well.

The best Buckeyes incoming freshman at the position is four-star Bo Jackson from Cleveland, so the added depth, especially if Donaldson can be a multi-position athlete, should be welcome.
