How Ohio State Football & Ryan Day Dodged a HUGE Bullet in the Transfer Portal

from Menace2Sports with Zach Smith · host Zach Smith

Ohio State & Ryan Day DODGE A HUGE BULLET w/ Former Penn State DE Chaz Coleman | Transfer Portal Did Ryan Day accidentally make one of the smartest moves of his Ohio State tenure? In this video, we break down the wild saga of former Penn State defensive end Chaz Coleman — the #1 transfer portal prospect who was once considered a LOCK for the Buckeyes — and why Ohio State may have dodged a massive bullet by missing out on him. When Penn State's season imploded and James Franklin was fired, Coleman — a Warren, Ohio native ranked #1 in the 247Sports transfer portal rankings — was immediately linked to Ohio State. Ryan Day was aggressively recruiting him, and many insiders predicted he was Columbus-bound. Instead, Coleman chose Tennessee for a reported $2 MILLION NIL deal to play for former Ohio State DC Jim Knowles. What happened next? A rocky spring. Missed workouts. Off-field concerns. And now, Coleman has been DISMISSED from the Tennessee program entirely — without ever playing a single snap for the Vols. Meanwhile, Ohio State went out and landed Qua Russaw from Alabama, avoided the NIL drama, and Ryan Day looks like a genius for steering clear. ⬇️ We cover it all in this video: ✅ The full Chaz Coleman transfer portal saga ✅ Why Ohio State was the early favorite ✅ How Tennessee swooped in with a massive NIL offer ✅ Coleman's troubled tenure in Knoxville ✅ His dismissal from Tennessee & what it means ✅ Why Ryan Day & the Buckeyes are better off 🔔 Subscribe & hit the bell for the latest Ohio State Football news, transfer portal updates, recruiting breakdowns, and Big Ten analysis! #OhioState #Buckeyes #ChazColeman #RyanDay #TransferPortal #PennState #Tennessee #BigTen #CollegeFootball   TO ADVERTISE ON THIS PODCAST PLEASE EMAIL: [email protected] or go to https://advertising.libsyn.com VIP Subscribers: https://menace2sports.com/ - Coach's Film Room, Bourbon & Ball, and MORE! - Exclusive Content, Shows and Videos - Exclusive Call-In Ability for Live Shows - Starting at $10 a month!
