The Buckeyes are set to host a talented Transfer Portal defensive lineman on official visit.
The Buckeyes are looking to bolster their offensive line for next season through the transfer portal and the staff is working hard to do that. On Wednesday, they added their first transfer portal player for the 2025 cycle to the program when former Minnesota offensive tackle Phillip Daniels, who had been in the transfer portal since Monday, signed with Ohio State. Daniels had just finished his visit with the Buckeyes.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are making significant moves on the recruiting front, as they prepare to host transfer portal defensive lineman Phillip Daniels for an official visit. Daniels, a standout player from the University of Georgia, has garnered attention from multiple programs after entering the transfer portal, and Ohio State is eager to evaluate his potential as part of their defensive line rotation.
Daniels, a 6-foot-5, 295-pound defensive tackle, has made a name for himself with his powerful presence in the trenches, showcasing excellent pass-rushing ability and run-stopping prowess during his time in the SEC. His versatility and experience at the highest level of college football make him an intriguing addition to the Buckeyes’ defensive unit, which is looking to bolster its line heading into the 2024 season.
The visit marks a critical moment in Ohio State’s pursuit of a player who could help fill a significant gap in their defensive front. With the departure of several key players to the NFL, the Buckeyes are focused on finding immediate-impact talent through the transfer portal, and Daniels’ official visit provides a prime opportunity for the coaching staff to show him the advantages of joining one of college football’s most storied programs.
The Buckeyes will look to sell Daniels on the idea of stepping into a prominent role within their defensive system, alongside a group of highly touted recruits and established players. Daniels’ leadership and experience would offer a much-needed boost to Ohio State’s front seven as they aim to stay competitive in the Big Ten and on the national stage.
Stay tuned for updates on Daniels’ visit to Columbus, as Ohio State continues to strengthen its roster for next season.
