Ohio State's Dallan Hayden to Enter Transfer Portal

The departure of running back Dallan Hayden from Ohio State football is set to reshape the team's backfield dynamics.

Ohio State running back Dallan Hayden has informed the team of his intention to enter the NCAA transfer portal during the upcoming April 16-30 window.
Hayden's decision comes after the recent departure of his position coach and being third on the depth chart, behind TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins.
In two seasons at Ohio State, Hayden accumulated 663 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns on 130 carries.
Ohio State's new running backs coach, Carlos Locklyn, faces the challenge of bolstering the team's running back depth for 2024 and beyond.
The team currently lacks a running back commitment for the 2025 class, increasing the urgency to secure talent through recruitment and the transfer portal.
