Mitchell Melton will play a sixth year of college football, but it won’t be at Ohio State.
The fifth-year Ohio State defensive end opted to enter the transfer portal on Sunday, according to multiple reports.
Ohio State linebacker Mitchell Melton is entering the transfer portal, a source tells @CBSSports/@247Sports.
Melton, who is repped by @APSportsAgency, is a former top-185 overall recruit who has 12 tackles and two sacks this year.https://t.co/9Xz4TxxKfX pic.twitter.com/He1Laiy5vp
Initially recruited to Ohio State as a linebacker, Melton moved to defensive end after missing the entirety of the 2021 and 2022 seasons due to injuries. He’s seen occasional playing time as a rotational player over the past two seasons, recording 15 total tackles with 6.5 tackles for loss and three sacks.
Had Melton stayed at Ohio State for the 2025 season, he likely would have remained in a backup role for the Buckeyes. While Jack Sawyer and JT Tuimoloau will exhaust their eligibility after this season, Kenyatta Jackson Jr., Caden Curry and incoming Idaho State transfer Logan George are the most likely candidates to lead Ohio State’s depth chart on the edge next season. C.J. Hicks is also a potential candidate to become a full-time edge player next season.
Melton still has another year of eligibility because he took a redshirt in 2021 after all players received an extra year of eligibility in 2020. With Melton and Patrick Gurd departing, Ohio State will not have any members of its 2020 recruiting class on its roster next season, as the rest of its scholarship players from that class (Gee Scott Jr., Josh Fryar, Ty Hamilton, Cody Simon and Lathan Ransom) who remain with the Buckeyes are set to exhaust their eligibility after this season.
Northwestern women’s basketball will face off against No. 10 Ohio State to open up the 2025 portion of its season. The ‘Cats (7-7, 0-3 B1G) head into the New Year, coming off back-to-back conference losses against Washington and Oregon. A win would be an ideal wait to start this next slate of 15 Big Ten games, but Ohio State (13-0, 2-0 B1G) is undefeated and has proven to be among the best in the country. The Buckeyes not only lead the Big Ten in points per game with 85.9 but sit 10th nationally, while also housing a top-30 scoring defense.
