We already broke down our expectations for how Ohio State handles the transfer portal regarding the quarterback position. Now I want to dive into the running back position.
So far there has been very little news or noise surrounding portal activity for the backfield, but much of that is due to the focus on TreVeyon Henderson and whether he is staying in Columbus.
Even if Henderson decides to stay, which is highly unlikely, the once full stable of horses is depleted with the departure of Chip Trayanum and Evan Pryor to the portal and Miyan Williams to the NFL. Only Henderson and Dallan Hayden remain viable options for the starting role next season.
It would not be surprising to see the Buckeyes make a move to add another back to the roster with a bit more experience than a possible incoming true freshman. The following are not the top backs in the portal, but the top five guys I believe would be an excellent fit.
