Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

OL in the transfer portal sets a visit date with the Ohio State football team

A transfer portal offensive lineman has set a visit date with the Buckeyes.

The Ohio State football program hasn't been able to get any transfers from the Spring transfer portal yet. Even though the portal has been open for a week, they haven't been able to get any guys to add to the roster. At the same time, they have had many players leave, either.

After the season was over, the Buckeyes grabbed a couple of offensive linemen from the transfer portal. Both might start, but one definitely will start. It doesn't look like they are done trying to bring guys in because an offensive lineman has set a visit date with the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Orion Irving sets visit date with the Ohio State football team

Orion Irving, a transfer from Sam Houston State, is one of the players that Ohio State has offered a scholarship to. He has now set up a visit date in Columbus, according to 247Sports' Bill Kuerlic. Irving will visit the Buckeyes next week as Ohio State tries to lock up some recruits.

Irving was a 2023 All-Freshman performer in his conference and started ten games last season. He is someone who would certainly provide Ohio State some depth up front, which they are clearly trying to amass. Ohio State may not have an orientation of starters that they like up front quite yet.

On Monday, North Carolina transfer Beau Atkinson is in Columbus for his official visit with the Buckeyes and it sure looks like things have been going fantastic for him on campus. Things are going so well, both Steve Wiltfong and Pete Nakos have put in their official predictions for Day to land him. Normally, this means a commitment is coming sooner rather than later:


Ohio State is on the verge of landing UNC pass-rusher Beau Atkinson

This is going to be tremendous news for Day and Ohio State, but a big negative for Kirby Smart and Georgia. Atkinson was set to visit Athens later this week to meet with the Bulldogs, but now that he's potentially set on committing to the Buckeyes, it's safe to assume that visit won't take place.

Earlier this month, Atkinson surprised a lot of people when he announced he was entering the portal. The Buckeyes didn't waste much time in making a move to go after him. Last campaign for UNC, before Bill Belichick arrived of course, the playmaker posted 7.5 sacks. He was no question a leader on defense for the Tar Heels and he was expected to be a key difference-maker in 2025.

Instead, he decided he wanted to play elsewhere and when Ohio State comes calling, it's tough to turn the program down. The pieces are in place for the Buckeyes to push for another title next winter. The Atkinson commitment isn't locked in just yet, but all signs seem to indicate he'll be making the move to play for Day soon enough.
