DeaMonte Trayanum says it “feels surreal” to be transferring to Ohio State, where he’s excited about the opportunities he’ll have both on and off the field.
Trayanum didn’t enter the portal with his sights set on playing linebacker. But he felt like it was something he had to consider once he received a call from Ohio State, who also offered him as a running back out of high school but only recruited him as a linebacker this time.
Trayanum’s move from running back to linebacker entering his third year of college football comes with a recent precedent at Ohio State. Steele Chambers made that same move last year and ended up becoming the Buckeyes’ starting Will linebacker by the end of the 2021 season. Trayanum, who says he doesn’t know what specific linebacker position he will play yet, will face plenty of competition to get on the field at Ohio State. Chambers, Tommy Eichenberg and Cody Simon will all be back after leading Ohio State’s 2021 linebacker corps while Teradja Mitchell and Palaie Gaoteote could also be back for another year.
