Bryson Rodgers, a top 2023 recruit for the Ohio State Buckeyes, has transferred to the college football transfer portal.

According to Hayes Fawcett of On3, Rodgers, who was a four-star recruit by Ohio State football in 2023, will be testing the waters of the NCAA’s equivalent of free agency.

Rodgers saw no action during his first — and only — season with Ohio State football. Despite his lack of playing time in his freshman season, there should be plenty of interest in him given the promise he brought into college after graduating from high school in Florida.

Rodgers received offers from a variety of schools, including the LSU Tigers, Texas Longhorns, Auburn Tigers, Michigan Wolverines, Miami Hurricanes, Washington Huskies, South Carolina Gamecocks, Florida State Seminoles, and Iowa State Cyclones, to name a few.

Despite losing Rodgers to the transfer portal, the Buckeyes shouldn’t be concerned about the depth of their receiving corps. They’re bringing in a lot of talent for the 2024 season, including four-star wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Mylan Graham. To now, Ohio State has 21 pledges for 2024, with five five-stars, 12 four-stars, and three three-stars.

Ohio State concluded the 2023 season ranked 39th in the nation in passing yards per game and 35th in scoring offense (30.2 points per game).
