Players coming to OSU via the transfer portal

Jason Brooks, OL (Vanderbilt)

Brooks is a 6-foot-4, 295-pound offensive lineman who has played in seven career games over the past two seasons at Vanderbilt. Originally from Dobie High School in Houston, Texas, Brooks will be a redshirt sophomore in the fall. He was recruited out of high school by new OSU defensive coordinator Derek Mason, who was the head coach at Vanderbilt at the time.

Casey Collier, OL (USC)

The 6-foot-7, 300-pound Collier is a promising offensive tackle prospect who will be a redshirt sophomore in the fall. He played in one game each of the past two seasons at Southern Cal and will join the Cowboys in the summer, adding valuable depth at a position of need. He is originally from Baytown, Texas, just east of Houston.

Deondre Jackson, RB (Texas A&M)

A 5-foot-11, 215-pound running back, Jackson comes to OSU as a redshirt sophomore after spending two years at Texas A&M. A three-star prospect out of Stephenson High School in Stone Mountain, Georgia, Jackson appeared in five games at Texas A&M, carrying the ball three times for 13 yards. He entered the transfer portal in January and soon committed to Nebraska, but remained on campus at Texas A&M through the spring to get his academics in order, eventually changing his commitment. For OSU, Jackson adds some needed depth at the running back position behind starter Dominic Richardson.

Players with eligibility remaining leaving OSU or in the transfer portal

Hunter Anthony, OL (Nebraska)

Anthony, a redshirt junior originally from Tuttle, won a starting job in 2020, but was injured in the season opener. This past season, he was occasionally used as a backup and as an extra blocker in short-yardage situations.

Israel Antwine, DT (NFL Draft)

Antwine was a three-year starter at OSU and a four-year starter at the college level, beginning his career at Colorado. In the past three seasons at OSU, the Millwood High School product had 65 tackles with 13 tackles for loss and six sacks. In 2021, he finished with 20 tickles, four tackles for loss and three sacks.

Cade Bennett, OL (San Diego State)

A redshirt freshman from Scottsdale, Arizona, Bennett appeared in two games this season.

Jarrick Bernard-Converse, CB (LSU)

Bernard-Converse started 47 games over his four years at Oklahoma State, totaling 196 tackles, two interceptions and 24 pass breakups. He spent two years at safety, then two years at cornerback. He was a first-team All-Big 12 selection in 2021 and will have one year of eligibility remaining.

LD Brown, RB (NFL Draft)

Having just completed his sixth season as a Cowboy, Brown decided the time was right to attempt a jump to the NFL. Because of injuries this past season, he would have been eligible for a seventh season in Stillwater, but chose to pass it up. The DeSoto, Texas, native finished his career with 1,235 yards and nine touchdowns on 214 carries. He also averaged 20.1 yards on 30 kickoff returns with one touchdown, coming this past season.

Ethan Bullock, QB (transfer portal)

A former junior-college transfer, Bullock appeared in four games over two seasons as a backup, mostly in mop-up duty. He will be a sixth-year senior.

Kamryn Farrar, LB (SM)

Farrar played in all 14 games as a redshirt sophomore last season, primarily on special teams, while also serving as Malcolm Rodriguez’s backup at outside linebacker. With the addition of junior-college transfer Xavier Benson in January, Farrar was likely destined for a backup role once again.

Kolby Harvell-Peel, S (NFL Draft)

A four-year starter and true senior, Harvell-Peel initially declared for the draft after his junior season, but reversed course and stayed at OSU for 2021. He became a third-team All-American this past season, leading the team with three interceptions. For his career, he had 237 tackles, 10 interceptions and 24 pass breakups.

Shane Illingworth, QB (Nevada)

The 6-foot-6, 230-pound Illingworth appeared in eight games over two years as OSU’s No. 2 quarterback behind Spencer Sanders. He quarterbacked the Cowboys to wins over Tulsa, West Virginia and Kansas in 2020 and Missouri State in 2021. For his career, he completed 69 of 120 passes (57.5%) for 939 yards with seven touchdowns and two interceptions. He appeared in three games this past season, maintaining his redshirt status, which means he will have four years of eligibility at his next destination.

Dezmon Jackson, RB (Sam Houston State)

A redshirt senior with an extra year still available, Jackson played in 17 games the past two seasons, including every game as a junior. Injuries kept him on the sideline for about half of the 2021 season. In his two years at OSU, he carried the ball 148 times for 686 yards and six touchdowns.

Austin Jarrard, TE (transfer portal)

A junior-college transfer who joined the Cowboys last summer, Jarrard played in three games as a redshirt sophomore in the fall, but did not catch a pass.

Jayden Jernigan, DT (Missouri)

A backup in the regular rotation as a redshirt sophomore this season, Jernigan was a consistent contributor on a strong defensive line. He finished the year with 22 tackles, two sacks and six quarterback hurries.

Gabe Lemons, S (transfer portal)

Appeared in 22 games over four years, almost exclusively on special teams. A redshirt junior in 2021, Lemons will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Tanner McCalister, S (Ohio State)

McCalister has been a rotational player since he arrived in 2018 and was a starter the last two seasons. In all, he finished with 125 tackles and 12 pass breakups in 50 games as a Cowboy. A true senior with an extra year of eligibility remaining, he is joining former Cowboy defensive coordinator Jim Knowles at Ohio State.
