According to Pete Nakos of On3, Ohio State football made a significant acquisition to the college football transfer portal on Tuesday.
A source informs @On3sports that Ethan Onianwa, a rice offensive tackle, has committed to Ohio State. @BruceFeldmanCFB first. One of the most sought-after OTs was the 6-foot-6, 345-pounder. On 294 pass-blocking snaps in 2024, he let up just one sack, according to Nakos’ post on X, formerly Twitter.
Onianwa was ranked as the “No. 24 overall prospect in the Rivals transfer rankings,” per the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Although not everyone in college football is interested in adding an offensive lineman, programs are aware of the position’s significance. Although they may get most of the praise, a quarterback is only as good as his offensive line. Although it is extremely uncommon, several quarterbacks have succeeded in spite of weak offensive lines.
With his transfer portal move, Ethan Onianwa will undoubtedly leave Rice, where he has played collegiate football up to this time. They want to do all in their power to regain their position as a truly dominant college football team because Ohio State has not lived up to their expectations in previous seasons. They ought to be able to accomplish that with Onianwa’s assistance.
So far, Ohio State has been very active on the transfer portal. The Buckeyes are looking for ways to get better. No, the transfer portal won’t eliminate all of their doubts, but Ohio State football may still gain from making wise additions.
