John Ferlmann said it was a “very easy” decision to transfer to Ohio State because he wants to compete for championships and because of the resources available at OSU.
There wasn’t just one factor that made Ferlmann certain he wanted to be a Buckeye. Rather, it was a combination of everything he already knew about Ohio State and saw during his visit that made him sure Ohio State was the right place for him.
Ferlmann, who will be on scholarship at Ohio State after previously walking on at Arizona State, was also recruited by several other Power 5 schools including Virginia Tech, Syracuse and Georgia Tech after he entered the transfer portal two weeks ago. Ferlmann also gave serious consideration to becoming a Hokie because of Virginia Tech’s reputation for special teams excellence.
Once he spent a day at Ohio State, though, Ferlmann was sold there was no better move for him than to become a Buckeye. Ferlmann, who spent two years at Arizona State and was the Sun Devils’ starting long snapper last year after he took a redshirt in 2021, said his decision to leave Arizona State – his hometown school – came with the arrival of ASU’s new coaching staff. While Ferlmann had a close bond with former Arizona State special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum, he said he “didn’t see eye to eye” with new ASU special teams coordinator Charlie Ragle, prompting him to look elsewhere.
