Ohio State football set the blueprint for winning a national title in the NIL era. The Buckeyes knocked off Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff National Championship thanks in large part to an NIL strategy that kept several key players in school for their senior seasons and attracted key pieces such as quarterback Will Howard and safety Caleb Downs to help put them over the top. The 2025 Ohio State football roster will look significantly different with many of those stars now moving on to the NFL. Ohio State players have until Friday to make NFL decisions, while they’re also dealing with a five-day window to enter the college football transfer portal following the National Championship Game win.

Ohio State football roster news
The Ohio State football transfer portal door has swung both ways for the Buckeyes this offseason. The Buckeyes have at least 13 outgoing transfers, including three who announced shortly after the title game, and at least six incoming transfers.
Notable players leaving include backup quarterbacks Air Nolan and Devin Brown as well as cornerback Calvin Simpson-Hunt, a former 247Sports top-100 prospect. Tight end Max Klare, who had more than 600 receiving yards at Purdue last year, and running back CJ Donaldson, who had more than 700 rushing yards at West Virginia in 2024, are among the notable incoming players.
The Buckeyes could have as many as 16 players drafted, which would break the record for the most from one school in a single draft. However, that number could shrink some as the Buckeyes wait on NFL decisions from running back Quinshon Judkins (declared for NFL Draft on Friday), cornerback Davison Igbinosun and linebacker Sonny Styles, among others.
