The Ohio State Buckeyes could be loading up even more for the 2024 season.
With Alabama losing a pair of five-star players to the portal in starting LT Kadyn Proctor and All-American safety Caleb Downs, its sounding like it could turn into OSU’s gain.
Fans reacted to the idea of both players potentially going to the Scarlet and Gray:
“If Ohio State lands Kadyn Proctor and Caleb Downs,” a Buckeyes account said.

“No matter what happens with guys like Kadyn Proctor or Caleb Downs we have learned something: fans and coaches need to be careful how they react when a kid doesn’t pick their school the first time,” Greg Smith tweeted.

“Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor and safety Caleb Downs have entered the transfer portal, both of whom are former five-star prospects with bright futures,” commented The Athletic’s Ari Wasserman.

The Buckeyes are already returning a ton of key pieces for next season. Could they add even more to their transfer portal haul by spring?
