Former Ohio State football target has entered the transfer portal

During the recruitment of Peyton Woodyard , Ohio State football was always seen as a potential landing spot for him.

Ultimately the California safety signed with Alabama , but like many others before him, has decided to move on from the Crimson Tide following the retirement of Nick Saban .

The Buckeyes have already benefited from the change, as they added safety Caleb Downs , quarterback Julian Sayin and center Seth McLaughlin . Could another be on the way?

It’s hard to say at this moment, as Woodyard has entered the portal with a do not contact tag, meaning that he most likely already knows where he is headed next.

Could it be Columbus? It could be, but he also was once a Georgia commitment and also highly considered staying home and playing for USC . It is now a wait-and-see with Woodyard and the Buckeyes.
