Ohio State football reset: Key returners, departures after national championship run

One week ago, Ohio State was celebrating in Atlanta as national champions. Now it’s turned its focus to attempting a repeat.

Unfortunately for the Buckeyes, winning a national championship in this era means everybody wants a piece of not only the coaching staff but also the players on the roster.

Ohio State spent the days following the title game trying to keep its roster together and avoid the transfer portal, but also watching its coaching staff field calls. It couldn’t fend off everybody, as the most notable departure was defensive coordinator Jim Knowles leaving for Penn State to become the highest-paid coordinator in the country.

With the portal window closed, NFL Draft decisions finalized, and Knowles on his way to State College, let’s look at how Ohio State is replacing what it lost both on the field and on the staff.
