Former Buckeye signs with Vikings

Former Buckeye signs with Vikings #GoBucks

The 2024 NFL Draft is officially in the books and with only four Ohio State Buckeyes coming off the board, that is the lowest amount since 2013. Now that number doesn’t include two former transfers that heard their name called, and with the transfer portal being more and more prominent we will only get used to more transfers getting drafted.

After the conclusion of the NFL Draft, the fun really began for most former Ohio State stars as they are rapidly picked up by NFL teams as undrafted free agents. We have done our best to provide updates for the landing spot of most former Buckeyes but also wanted to give an update on who at least started their collegiate career in Columbus.

Most Ohio State fans will remember Dallas Gant as the former four-star recruit spent four seasons as a Buckeye before transferring back home to Toledo and dominating in the MAC. Gant didn’t hear his name get called, but he did sign with the Minnesota Vikings and we wish him good luck!

Former Ohio State linebacker headed to Toledo

Dallas Gant has found a new home in his old stomping grounds.

Former Ohio State linebacker, Dallas Gant, is heading home. Gant entered the transfer portal in mid-September and now we know where he’ll finish out his college career… the University of Toledo.

Toledo is home for Gant. As a product of St. John’s Jesuit, Gant was ranked as the No. 10 outside linebacker in the country in 247Sports 2018 composite rankings.

Gant was expected to compete for playing time and even a starting position during summer camp after the departure of three seniors at the position from the previous season. However, injuries at inopportune times kept him out as the senior was passed and saw limited playing time.

Now Gant has an opportunity to start over in a familiar place. Here’s to hoping that this young man can stay healthy and make some noise up north for the Rockets.
