The Ohio State football program continues to lose players every single day to the Transfer Portal. They now have 30 players in the portal. That is by far the most players that have entered the portal in one offseason for the Buckeyes. Quite frankly, it's a major issue.
One of the players who decided to enter the Transfer Portal is receiver Mylan Graham. The former five-star recruit decided to enter the portal after two years with the Ohio State Buckeyes, despite an opportunity for greater playing time with Carnell Tate declaring for the NFL Draft.
There were some hopes that Graham might withdraw his name from the portal. That no longer looks like it's going to happen. Instead, it looks like Ohio State is going to lose him to a former Buckeye. Graham looks poised to head to Notre Dame in the next couple of days.
Former Ohio State receiver likely to commit to Notre Dame
Graham beat the Fighting Irish just under a year ago to win a national championship. Now, it looks like he is poised to join Marcus Freeman. He is one of five receivers to leave the roster this offseason. Yet, Ryan Day has only been able to add one from the portal to take their spot.
Ohio State continues to struggle with the portal this season. Ross Bjork might have a big reason to do with that, but it's pretty clear that there is a disconnect with the NIL process that they are using. Talent evaluation has been poor in recent classes, as well.
Graham is hoping that going back to his home state of Indiana will help him perform better and get on the field more. He has a lot of talent, but he just wasn't able to get on the field ahead of Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate, and Brandon Inniss.
Ohio State players have six more days to declare for the portal until it closes.
