25 Buckeyes Hit the Transfer Portal; Only One Quarterback Leaves
The transfer portal is revolutionizing college football and roster building across the board. For some programs, like Colorado, it’s primarily how they choose to field a team.

With the free year of eligibility handed out by the NCAA for the 2020 COVID pandemic, rosters have been pushed to the limit. The transfer portal has been at the center of what some purists believe to be the downfall of the game. However, it’s more likely that the activity will decrease and plateau off once all of those 2020 eligibility users are out of the system.
