Not only was it the last weekend prior to the early signing period, it was also a big weekend for transfers. Ohio State hosted two offensive tackles, Ajani Cornelius and Jeremiah Byers, in hopes of luring them to play in Columbus next year.
What has transpired since has been interesting, given that there should be plenty of playing time available for a team that is in the College Football Playoff conversation every year, along with being a pipeline to the NFL.
Find out what is next for both Byers and Cornelius as the dead period gets closer and news could get a bit quieter on the transfer front.

Byers commits to Florida State
While Byers did visit Columbus, he eyes were set on another program, Florida State. He made his commitment on Monday evening, leaving the Buckeyes with one less option in the portal at offensive line.

As if there wasn’t already enough drama on Wednesday for Ohio State, Cornelius added more after he announced he will be making his commitment on the same day as the early signing period. He is making his intentions known later in the day, at 6 p.m. ET, so we very well could know what the Buckeye 2023 class looks like as we await the transfer’s decision. It would be a very big commitment if Ryan Day is able to pull this one off.
