There has certainly been more early activity in the transfer portal for Ohio State than we've seen in year's past, especially considering the Buckeyes are in the throws of a College Football Playoff national championship chase.

Alabama football added a running back through the transfer portal Monday evening, when Dre’Lyn Washington, formerly of Louisiana, opted to join the Crimson Tide, according multiples reports, first from Hayes Fawcett of On3.

Ohio State football’s Sam Williams-Dixon is planning to enter the transfer portal, according to a report from Rivals. The running back is wrapping up his freshman season with the Buckeyes. He’s run for 53 yards on seven attempts while appearing in three games — making him eligible to redshirt.
