RB Chip Trayanum transferring from Ohio State to Kentucky

Running back Chip Trayanum is set to transfer from Ohio State to Kentucky for the 2024 season, he announced Tuesday on social media.

Trayanum, who entered the transfer portal Dec. 6, scored Ohio State's winning touchdown in a Sept. 23 victory at Notre Dame and finished second on the team with 373 rushing yards and three touchdowns. He began his career at Arizona State and was set to play linebacker when he came to Ohio State but was thrust into action at running back because of depth concerns. Trayanum has one season of eligibility left.
