When RB Master Teague was ruled unavailable for the remainder of the Ohio State football team’s spring practice after an apparent Achilles injury, a shock wave was sent across Buckeye Nation.

With big shoes to fill with the departure of JK Dobbins, the biggest question mark for the Ohio State football team next season will be at running back. Could a former Oklahoma Sooners running back and graduate transfer be the missing piece for this Buckeyes electrifying offense?

Trey Sermon, former Oklahoma RB, announced on Twitter he will be entering the transfer portal. Despite being a top target for the Buckeyes in the class of 2017, Sermon committed to the Sooners and the Buckeyes landed Dobbins.

Often things come full circle. Tony Alford recruited Sermon and he could have the opportunity to coach the RB during his final year of eligibility.

In his three seasons with the Sooners, Sermon rushed for 2,076 yards and 22 touchdowns. His junior season in 2019 was cut short due to a knee injury against Iowa State.

With an established offensive line, playmakers at the wide receiver, excellent tight ends and a Heisman front-runner at quarterback, Sermon would be the perfect fit for this Coach Ryan Day led offense.

The addition of Sermon would make the Buckeyes arguably the most dynamic offense coming into the 2020 college football season. Coach Day’s offensive mind combined with Ohio State’s track record of having successful running backs, along with the opportunity to compete for a national championship, is all Trey Sermon should need to pledge his allegiance to the Buckeyes.
