Can someone explain the thought process on a few of these guys leaving their team now? Especially if it involves a bowl or potential playoff team? Why not finish out 4 more weeks, get the bowl/playoff experience, be with your teammates, have some fun doing it, THEN move on?
Football 2025 Transfer Portal Thread
- Thread starter Dylan Callaghan-Croley
- Start date
The goal is to get to your new team asap. Certain players are going to be in high demand no matter what. Others may get better offers early and see them wane as others enter the portal.
A guy like Cross, he's probably ready to find a school with playing time opportunities. He's bid his time. He just hasn't seen the field. I'm honestly shocked he didn't leave after the spring game, but I'm going to assume he finished his degree. He's got a limited amount of time left to play the game and he probably sees going somewhere and playing as more important than probably not even traveling to Indy for the ccg and whatever the playoff brings.
PSU has to bring in a #1 WR from the portal. Criteria: ability to consistently catch the ball, gain separation @ LOS, run crisp routes, and win 50/50 balls Can't continue to play "wait & see" with those currently on the roster.
Yeah, McCall basically tried to die this year and NCSU wasn't the same without him
Right and, as Dylan said, we need to lose 60--so at least 30 of those will be transfers to go along with graduation and early entry into the NFL draft. Most schools probably want 20-50 players to transfer--it's just do the right kids transfer or do you lose guys that matter.
What is he, 25 now?
What a joke. Go join the workforce for Pete’s sake.
Hopefully some kind of job that doesn't require anything like learning what the hell he's supposed to do.
Sooners QB Arnold set to transfer, sources say
QB Jackson Arnold, who started 10 games over his two seasons with the Sooners, is entering the NCAA transfer portal and will have two seasons of eligibility remaining at his next school.
Real bad for OU
LOL how is that "big trouble"
Kaelin was a lock to transfer once Raiola won the job.
Somebody else mentioned him. WVU's Josiah Trotter is now in the portal.
I wouldn't be opposed. 8 months in S&C he could even better. LB would be better.
I'd have to imagine we kick the tires on Trotter. Regardless of King's go/stay decision, depth at LB was an issue this season. May as well snag a true thumper for BIG play next season.
Two tOSU WR's enter the portal. These were guys passed over by the program for younger players. Kojo Antwi (four star kid from GA) and Jayden Ballard (4 star kid out of Massilon OH). Also are losing a linebacker named Gabe Powers (4 star linebacker from Marysville OH).
Probably only played on special teams. Not what PSU is looking for.
#1 portaal priority is a proven/very productive WR to take on #1 WR position
#2 LBer (proven/producive starter)
#3 Edge rusher (proven/productive starter)

I think powers is more of a DE now. Osu fans expected him to contribute next year and be a team leader per their board.
PSU has a blind spot at linebacker. We are more interested in speed an athleticism than actually being able to tackle.
No. Most schools dont need 50 transfers. That is on top of 25 graduates a year. They need about the same number of outgoing as incoming. Some of Rhule's outgoing transfers are probably even starters. He even made the comment that he wanted them to stay.
Agree. For me, LBers need to effectively take proper angles (read/react quickly), be able to take on/defeat blockers, and tackle well. Athleticism and very low 40 times are less important. Just my preference.
Longtime Buckeye backup QB Devin Brown announced Sunday night he'd be entering the transfer portal but would remain with the team through Ohio State's College Football Playoff run. The Buckeyes play Dec. 21 against Tennessee in the No. 8 vs. No. 9 game.
I like the fact he's staying with the team for the playoff run--he absolutely needs to leave because he'll never start there but doing the right thing

Agreed. We need some Shane Conlan type guys. We need folks who know how to play that position and when they do they'll look plenty fast on the field.
Rojas is invisible. He's being outplayed in every aspect by a former walkon.
Agreed--Rojas has gone past invisible though--he's a liability
We certainly don't see players break down and make good form tackles like in the old days. It's more shooting the gaps and hoping to grab a leg. JMO.
But LBU is certainly in the middle of a dry streak. When was the last high 4* LB recruit (6.0 rating)? We've had several low 4* kids. Tasch & Burnett were too young as true freshmen. Same with RS freshmen Jackson & Speca. Rojas & Robinson were from the 2023 class but Robinson hasn't played much. PSU really needs a couple of those kids to step up next year because I assume we lose King. Will Deluca be back?
