I’ve been holding my breath about this for weeks, but it finally is official.!Isiah Cox is in the transfer portal. What a loss, he’s been really fun to watch. I wish him well wherever he lands.

For some reason I already assumed he was going to graduate and move on so I guess I'm not too sad/upset. Will need some others to step with this year big time.

I hope he find a good place, he did a lot at Ohio. He will definitely be hard to replace.

The WR position is really thin now. He was really the only playmaker left at WR. I don't blame him for leaving. I think he can catch on with a P5 team and contribute.

My question is why are all the WRs leaving? Hooks, Buckner and Cox were all contributors. I know Buckner less so, but he is not going to end up at a better program.

Maybe for a team with a QB?

Or at least to a team that isn't so run oriented. Of our 734 plays from scrimmage this past season, just about 60% (434) were running plays. Although a primary reason for that was Armani being a running QB, it's also because the coaching staff still has a run-first philosophy. And too often it's UTM instead of something that gets the wideouts involved. Even with Kurtis at the helm next season, don't expect the philosophy to change much.

I agree with this take. In 2020, the offense chugged along in the three games with a run-oriented attack. Hooks transferred to an FCS team despite being a starter. WRs likely want to see some passes come their way. It is not going to happen with this coaching staff.
