Notes
- The departures column includes players who exhausted their Ohio State eligibility, entered the NFL draft or entered the transfer portal after the 2024 season.
- The 85-man scholarship limit is no longer in place for the 2025 season. Ryan Day said he expects Ohio State to have 90 scholarship players in 2025, which the Buckeyes currently do.
