Bryson Rodgers Holds Onto Ohio State Pride Despite Transfer

Former Ohio State receiver Bryson Rodgers has made it clear that his loyalty to the Buckeyes, particularly their rivalry with Michigan, remains strong even after transferring to the University of South Florida. After entering the transfer portal following last season, Rodgers joined Brian Hartline's program in Tampa, but his recent social media activity reveals that his feelings toward Michigan are unwavering.

On Thursday, Rodgers took to “X” to showcase his gold pants, a symbol of victory over Michigan from the previous season, along with a caption that expressed his enduring disdain for the Wolverines. He wrote, “it’s still 🖕🏾that team up north for life. buckeyes.🤞🏾,” making it clear that no matter where he plays, his allegiance to the Buckeyes still runs deep.

While losing a skilled wide receiver like Rodgers can be challenging for Ohio State, the depth of their receiving corps makes his decision to seek more playing time understandable. His post resonated with many fans, who continue to support him despite his new chapter in Tampa.

As the rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan remains one of the most intense in college sports, Rodgers' sentiments reflect the passion that often characterizes players from the Buckeyes program.
