Ohio State Faces Potential Major Losses for 2025 Season
Heading into the 2025 season, Ohio State finds itself in a challenging situation. After claiming their first college football national championship in a decade, they are now at risk of losing two pivotal players: wide receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate.
The Transfer Portal Dilemma
The Buckeyes’ national title victory has only amplified the pressure to retain their star players. Both Smith and Tate are now being actively pursued by rival programs, with Smith reportedly being offered between $4.5 million and $5 million, while Tate is receiving offers exceeding $1 million to enter the transfer portal. This looming threat has prompted Ohio State to urgently work on keeping their key offensive weapons.
