Ohio State football Legend Archie Mason Griffin Sadly Kicks The Bucket @69 Despite having just six players in their transfer class, the Buckeyes were high on the food chain.

Many anticipated that Syracuse safety Ja’Had Carter, a former Freshman sensation, would make a significant impact in Columbus after Ohio State football secured his transfer commitment.

Sadly for everyone involved, that never happened, and once spring practice ended, Carter went back into the transfer portal. Although he obviously wanted to succeed with the Buckeyes, playing time was going to be difficult to come by with the return of Lathan Ransom and the inclusion of Caleb Downs as a transfer. Carter’s time on the field with the Buckeyes was also impacted by injuries.

Ole Miss was outstanding both in terms of number and quality. In 2024, the Rebels might be the top non-Georgia club in the Southeastern Conference without Nick Saban.

In order to create a contender in the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff, Lane Kiffin fully committed to the Rebels after they had strong returning players at receiver and quarterback (Jaxson Dart).

The defensive end features DT Walter Nolen (Texas A&M), DE Princely Umanmielen (Florida), LB Chris Paul (Arkansas), and WR Juice Wells (South Carolina) as the class’s gems. Washington provided the Rebels with offensive line support, and in the spring, they added depth at running back (Henry Parrish, Miami) and secondary (Isaiah Hamilton, Houston).
