Former Alabama Cornerback Cam Calhoun Transfers To Ohio State

Ohio State added to its secondary when former Alabama cornerback Cam Calhoun committed to the Buckeyes on Thursday.

Calhoun has had a busy college career, moving between three different programs before ending up with the Buckeyes. He committed to Michigan out of high school before transferring to Utah, then Alabama, and now Ohio State.

Calhoun has two years of eligibility remaining after redshirting in his one season with the Wolverines. Out of Winton Woods High School in Cincinnati, he was the No. 397 overall recruit in the class of 2023.

The cornerback spent the 2024 season with the Utes and had an impressive nine passes broken up, which led the team. He also had 21 tackles and an interception that season and transferred to Tuscaloosa, Ala., over the next offseason to try to get a chance with the Crimson Tide.

However, Calhoun didn’t get much playing time with Alabama last season, finishing the year with just seven tackles and one pass broken up.

With Davison Igbinosun and Lorenzo Styles Jr. out of eligibility and former Buckeyes Bryce West and Aaron Scott Jr. entering the transfer portal, Ohio State needed some depth in the secondary, and has been able to make multiple additions to get that, of which Calhoun is the latest.

The Buckeyes have also added safeties Earl Little Jr. and Terry Moore through the portal and bring in two highly-touted freshmen in Jay Timmons and Jordan Thomas.
