Ohio State football is a premier spot for players in the transfer portal.
Just this past season, the program was able to add Alabama’s Seth McLaughlin, the No. 4 interior offensive lineman in 247Sports transfer portal rankings. He made a massive difference in the Buckeyes’ success this season.
Ohio State may be able to look back to the transfer portal to retool its offense line for next season.
One player to keep an eye on is left tackle transfer Conner Moore, who will be changing teams after being an All-American lineman for Montana State, a side that lost in the FCS Championship Game recently.
In addition to his Cincinnati visit today, Montana State All-American LT transfer Conner Moore is expected to visit Michigan State and Ohio State, multiple sources tell @247Sports.
Moore is the top available o-lineman in the @247SportsPortal rankings.

Moore checks in at 6-foot-5 and weighs 310 pounds. He earned Freshman All-America honors as well. Moore played sparingly in 2022 and had a real breakout season in 2024, earning First Team All-Big Sky honors as well.
With a visit to Michigan State and Cincinnati on his radar, the Buckeyes may have to fend off teams in the Big Ten and Big 12 to get a commitment from the massive lineman.
Moore wasn’t ranked coming out of high school and is a four-star transfer.
