Former Ohio Mr. Basketball reportedly enters transfer portal

Looks like another Ohio State basketball player will be entering the transfer portal.

Colin White, a sophomore forward from Ottawa, Ohio, told 24/7 Sports that he is entering the transfer portal after two seasons with the Ohio State men’s basketball program. White played in 29 games for Ohio State, averaging 0.9 points-per game. Colin appeared in 48 games overall for the Buckeyes and will have two years of eligibility remaining for his college career.

A former Ohio Mr. Basketball and top-125 recruit, White arrived in Columbus with significant expectations after a standout career at Ottawa-Glandorf, where he helped lead the Titans to consecutive state championship game appearances. His local ties and two-way skill set made him an intriguing developmental piece for the Buckeyes, especially on defense and as a versatile wing.

Colin is the second player so far this offseason to hit the transfer portal, Devin Royal being the first. Their teammate John Mobley has declared that he will go to the NBA draft but is keeping the door open to returning back to Columbus next season.

Ohio State finished the year with a 21-13 record overall and a 12-8 record within the Big Ten conference. Their season concluded in the first round of the NCAA tournament in a 66-64 loss to TCU.
