Ohio State Loses Power Forward Stewart to Transfer Portal

Ohio State is actively pursuing several key players in the NCAA transfer portal to bolster its football and basketball rosters ahead of the upcoming seasons. On the football front, the Buckeyes are targeting top transfer prospects to address recent departures, including standout pass rusher Beau Atkinson, who is predicted to sign with Ohio State but is still considering other programs. The team is also looking to strengthen its offensive line by hosting Purdue transfer Jaden Ball and making an offer to Sam Houston State tackle Orion Irving, both of whom could provide valuable depth or compete for starting roles. Meanwhile, the basketball team faces changes as power forward Sean Stewart has entered the transfer portal after just one season. These moves underscore Ohio State’s strategic use of the transfer portal to address gaps and maintain competitiveness across major sports programs.
