does anyone else ever randomly think of a former buckeye and wonder how they are performing so far at their new school this year? these are most of the transfer portal era ones and any information i could find.

*this is not a post nor is it a place to bash any of these players! i will always root for a former buckeye player's success at his new program, unless there were extenuating circumstances. 

** list only includes players that are current cfb players/ havent officially retired or declared for draft. many former buckeyes have either retired, finished eligibility, or are in the nfl/xfl/usfl/cfl and are not on the list.

G Ben Christman: Transferred to Kentucky but unfortunately is out for the season due to an undisclosed injury.
