Former Ohio State Safety Jantzen Dunn Returns to Kentucky, Will Play for Mark Stoops and the Wildcats

After entering the transfer portal on the 13th, former Ohio State safety Jantzen Dunn has landed up in his home state with Mark Stoops and the Wildcats. Originally from Bowling Green, Kentucky, Dunn was a four-star safety and the second-ranked high school recruit in the state.

Due to a combination of competition and injuries, Dunn didn't see much time on the field during in his time with the Buckeyes:

Dunn played only sparingly in his two seasons as a Buckeye, appearing in just two games before suffering a season-ending injury in 2021 and appearing in four games – all on special teams only – this season. Although he spent time with both the safeties and cornerbacks this year, Dunn never saw any defensive playing time at either position as a redshirt freshman.

As Dan Hope noted on the 13th, Ohio State has now lost all three of its safeties from its 2021 recruiting class, putting more pressure on Ryan Day and company to add more depth to the defensive roster.
