With 14 Ohio State players in the transfer portal since the end of the regular season, the Buckeyes’ depth chart will look different at numerous positions in the Cotton Bowl than it did in the regular season.
Some of those changes are major, such as at quarterback and wide receiver, where Kyle McCord and Julian Fleming are no longer with the team after starting all 12 of the Buckeyes’ regular-season games and Marvin Harrison Jr. also appears unlikely to play in the Cotton Bowl as he prepares for the 2024 NFL draft.
Other changes may only be impactful if the Buckeyes need to play deep into their depth chart against Missouri.
