Heading into the 2024 season both teams will have new signal callers behind center as Dillon Gabriel transferred from Oklahoma to Oregon and Will Howard transferred from Kansas State to Ohio State. The Ducks also added Texas A&M wide receiver Evan Stewart one of the top players available in the transfer portal, as well as Houston defensive lineman Ja'Maree Caldwell to beef up the trenches.

The Buckeyes lost Biletnikoff winner Marvin Harrison Jr. to the NFL Draft, while Junior Adams and the Ducks lost a gifted receiver of their own, with record-setting wideout Troy Franklin ready take his talents to the game's highest level. Ryan Day and his staff haven't shopped too much in the transfer portal, but they also added Ole Miss running back Quinshon Judkins, who will pair with TreVeyon Henderson to made a deadly duo in the backfield.
