Ohio State junior quarterback Devin Brown plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, he announced on Sunday night. He will stay with the team through the College Football Playoff. He will have two more seasons of eligibility.
Brown joined the program as a freshman in 2022 and has played in 16 games for the Buckeyes, completing 26-of-46 passes for 325 yards and three touchdowns.
“After many long conversations with my family and careful consideration of my future, I have decided to enter the transter portal following this season,” Brown wrote in his portal announcement. “I am beyond grateful for my time at Ohio State. It has truly been an honor to wear the Scarlet and Gray. The memories and lifelong relationships I have formed here will always be cherished. I want to extend my sincere thanks to Coach Day and all the coaches who have supported me during my time in Columbus.
“I entered this season with the intent of doing everything I could to win a National Championship with my brothers, and that goal is still very much alive. I will remain with the team and honor my commitment for the remainder of the season as we pursue our goal of winning it all.”
As a recruit, Brown was a five-star prospect ranked No. 31 overall in the 2022 class according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was also ranked as the No. 5 quarterback and No. 1 recruit from Utah.
The transfer portal officially opens on Dec. 9. More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers. That means roughly 25% of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year.
