One Ohio State RB reportedly intends to test the transfer portal following the 2023 season.
That player is Evan Pryor according to a report from Hayes Fawcett with On3 Sports. Pryor spent 3 seasons with the Buckeyes, but his ultimate playing time and development was impacted by a devastating injury in 2022.

Pryor originally joined Ohio State as a 4-star recruit and the No. 83 overall player in the 2021 recruiting class. The 247 Sports Composite also rated Pryor as the No. 6 RB for the cycle coming out of high school.
As a true freshman, Pryor had 98 rushing yards and a touchdown in limited action. He was having a strong training camp in 2022 with the coaching staff talking about a versatile role in store for Pryor. Unfortunately, a season-ending injury derailed that campaign before it was even started.
Since then, Pryor had a hard time cracking the depth chart for Ohio State. He had just 20 offensive touches for 51 total yards in 2023 with TreVeyon Henderson and Chip Trayanum leading the backfield.
