Ohio Bobcats Transfer Portal Tracker 2023-24: List of all players who've entered the transfer portal

The Ohio Bobcats have lost a significant amount of players since the start of the transfer portal. Many of them have left in search of opportunities to play better football than the Mid-American Conference. One of them is Ohio quarterback Kurtis Rourke, who has left for the Big Ten team, the Indiana Hoosiers.

With the new realities of the transfer portal, keeping talent from Power Five schools has become an issue for smaller programs like Ohio. It's understandable what the allure of playing at a program that may have a national spotlight might mean for aspiring future NFL prospects.

Rourke, who left for Indiana, was a fifth-year senior who earned Second Team All-Mid American team honors. He threw for 2,207 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions with a 63.5% completion percentage this season.
