Tight end Joe Royer is the latest Ohio State player to enter the transfer portal, multiple outlets reported.

That brings the number of Buckeyes to 14, including starting quarterback Kyle McCord.

From nearby Cincinnati Elder High School, Royer was the No. 8 tight end in the Class of 2020, per 247Sports. He was little-used with the Buckeyes, catching four passes for 24 yards in 14 games.

Because of the NCAA-granted extra year of eligibility due to the pandemic, Royer has two years of eligibility remaining.

—Oklahoma State wide receiver Blaine Green entered the portal and will have two seasons of eligibility remaining with a new program. He is one of five Cowboys to enter the portal since it opened on Monday.

Green appeared in 10 games as a freshman in 2021, then missed the following season because of injury. He returned in 2023 to appear in 10 more games and caught 13 passes for 102 yards.

In his Oklahoma State career, Green totaled 34 catches for 416 yards with one touchdown reception.

—Texas wide receiver Isaiah Neyor is in the portal and won't play for the Longhorns in the College Football Playoff semifinals vs. No. 2 Washington, On3 reported.

Neyor played at Wyoming before transferring to Texas prior to the 2022 season. He missed most of that season with a torn ACL and caught one pass for 14 yards for the Longhorns in 2023.

He joins fellow wide receiver Casey Cain in the transfer portal for Texas.
