Ryan Jacoby transferring to Pittsburgh

It didn’t take long for Jacoby to find a new home! Good luck. Once a Buckeye …

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.

Offensive lineman Ryan Jacoby enters transfer portal

The transfer portal strikes again.

And so it strikes again.

The transfer portal has made an appearance within the Ohio State football program, and it comes by way of offensive lineman Ryan Jacoby according to a tweet from Rivals.

A third-year offensive guard, Jacoby came to OSU as a 4-star prospect out of Mentor, Ohio. He’s not really in the mix in the competition for significant time on the offensive line this season and hasn’t gotten into a game to date during his career. So, it’s really an opportunity to get out from being buried on the depth chart in Columbus.

All in all, the transfer portal hasn’t been too much of a defection pipeline for Ohio State in its early existence, though we’ll continue to hear about guys that leave the program looking for additional playing time. And really, nobody can blame them.

The last player to find his way into the transfer portal and come out the other side at a new location was defensive back Tyreke Johnson. OSU also lost receiver Jameson Williams to Alabama before that.

We wish nothing but the best for Jacoby.
