The Great Buckeye Exodus: Did Ohio State Lose Everyone in the Transfer Portal?
Buckeye Nation, buckle up! The transfer portal season has come and gone, leaving a trail of rumors, restless tweets, and maybe even a tear or two (looking at you, Mom). But fear not, dear reader, because we're here to sift through the drama and answer the burning question: did Ohio State lose its entire team to the portal?

They Came, They Saw, They Portaled: A Breakdown of Buckeye Departures
Let's be honest, the portal claimed some big names. Quarterback Kyle McCord bolted for greener pastures (and maybe a chance at a starting gig). Running back Dallan Hayden followed suit, likely chasing that elusive carries-per-game record he just couldn't crack in Columbus. There were whispers of disgruntled linemen and a couple of defensive backs who decided a change of scenery might be nice.
But here's the thing, folks: Ohio State didn't exactly become a ghost town. Coach Day, ever the magician, filled the gaps with some real gems from the portal himself. We're talking five-star quarterback Julian Sayin ready to sling lasers, and running back Quinshon Judkins who runs like he has a rocket strapped to his back.
So, the final tally? We won't reveal the exact number because hey, math isn't our strong suit (we leave that to the number crunchers at the analytics department). Let's just say there were some departures, but also some strategic acquisitions that have Buckeye Nation buzzing with excitement.
