Top Transfer Portal Player Linked to Ohio State Basketball
The Ohio State basketball team is aiming to improve its roster through the transfer portal after missing out on Darrion Williams. While they have added some players from the portal, none have made a significant impact so far.
One promising candidate is Jamir Watkins, a 6’7″ guard from Florida State, who is currently exploring transfer options. Watkins is one of the top scorers available, averaging 18.4 points per game last season. His combination of size and skill would be a major boost for Ohio State as they prepare for a critical season under second-year head coach Jake Diebler.
Watkins offers versatility on defense and excels at attacking the rim on offense, with solid rebounding skills as well. Adding him alongside returning player Bruce Thornton could be a strong move for the Buckeyes next season.
Ohio State is eager to land a high-impact transfer to help break their three-year NCAA Tournament drought — a stretch that’s considered too long for a program of their stature. This offseason, securing a dynamic player like Watkins could be key to getting back on track.
