Ohio State OL Jayvon McFadden entering transfer portal
COLUMBUS — Ohio State offensive lineman Jayvon McFadden is entering the transfer portal, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett.
McFadden appeared in one game for the Buckeyes as a true freshman. He played 15 snaps at right guard in the week two win over Grambling.
Jayvon McFadden was one of three offensive linemen that Ohio State signed in the class of 2025. Carter Lowe and Jake Cook were the two others. Both Lowe and Cook played than McFadden as true freshmen but there was hope that all three could help the Buckeyes throughout their college careers. Now Jayvon McFadden is headed elsewhere.
It’s all part of a week full of attrition for Ohio State following the Cotton Bowl quarterfinal loss, as numerous players have announced their intentions to enter the transfer portal when it opens Friday morning.
