Buckeyes busy offseason already underway as transfer portal heats up

Two contributors from the Buckeyes 11-2 team are now in the transfer portal; defensive end Javontae Jean-Baptiste and cornerback Jakailin Johnson both entered the transfer portal in the days following the Peach Bowl loss to Georgia. Jean-Baptiste was a multi-year contributor for the Ohio State defensive line, while Johnson started five games during his up-and-down sophomore season.

But it wasn't all departures for Ohio State this week. The Buckeyes went into the portal and added former Syracuse safety Ja'Had Carter to their secondary; he committed to Ryan Day's program Tuesday evening, bolstering what should be an improved safety group next year after a disappointing end to the season for that position.

That's where the discussion begins on the first video of the offseason for Lettermen Row. The crew of Spencer Holbrook, Tim May and Andy Backstrom breaks down the latest portal activity, both in and out of the program, for Ohio State. #OhioStateFootball #OhioState #CFBNews
