Ohio State is losing a key linebacker to the transfer portal just three games into the 2021 season. Dallas Gant is moving on from the program, according to On3.

Because he played in less than four games this season, the senior Gant will keep his redshirt and could still have two seasons left because of the bonus year of eligibility the NCAA gave because of the pandemic.
