Dunn is Ohio State’s third player to enter the transfer portal after the 2022 regular season, joining safety Jaylen Johnson and linebacker Teradja Mitchell.

Dunn was a four-star safety out of Bowling Green, Kentucky, enrolling into the program in January 2021. He was the No. 10 safety in the 2021 class and the second-ranked player out of Kentucky behind offensive lineman Jager Burton.

Dunn held offers from Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Texas and Southern California, among others.

After playing in two games as a freshman in 2021, Dunn appeared in four games for Ohio State in 2022, not appearing in a game after the Buckeyes’ win against Penn State.

With Ronnie Hickman and Tanner McCalister departing after the 2022 season, Ohio State will bring in safeties Cedrick Hawkins and Malik Hartford in the 2023 class. Josh Proctor and Lathan Ransom are also eligible to leave for the NFL draft after the 2022 season.
