Ryan Day Feels First Shock as Brian Hartline Exit Triggers Transfer

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is already feeling the impact of Brian Hartline’s exit, as wide receiver Bryson Rodgers has decided to enter the transfer portal. Hartline, who recruited Rodgers and built a strong bond with him, is leaving Columbus to become South Florida’s head coach, and Rodgers’ move marks the first real roster consequence.

Rodgers played three seasons at OSU, finishing with 11 catches for 125 yards, and has two years of eligibility left. While his status for the College Football Playoff is unclear, Ohio State remains deep at wide receiver, led by All-American Jeremiah Smith and veteran Carnell Tate. Even as Hartline prepares to leave, he will stay through the playoffs and receive a $400,000 bonus after helping guide one of the nation’s most efficient offenses this season.
