Ohio State football is losing a cornerback to the transfer portal
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football’s Calvin Simpson-Hunt has entered the transfer portal.
The cornerback is departing after his sophomore season with the Buckeyes. In Ohio State’s run to a College Football Playoff National Championship, Simpson-Hunt played six defensive snaps and recorded two tackles.
The Waxahachie, Texas, native was a four-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class. He committed to Ohio State in June 2022 after flipping from Texas Tech.
Simpson-Hunt played 78 snaps as a freshman in 2023 — primarily on special teams. He served a similar role in 118 total snaps this season.
His departure doesn’t do much to shake up the cornerback room due to the young talent Ohio State has collected at the position.
The Buckeyes will have to replace senior starter Denzel Burke and could lose junior Davison Igbinosun as his decision regarding the 2025 NFL Draft lingers.
However, Jermaine Mathews Jr. is expected to return for his junior year after rotating as a third cornerback this season.
Ohio State will also have Bryce West and Aaron Scott entering their sophomore seasons along with five-star signee Devin Sanchez arriving as a true freshman.
