Colin White, a forward for Ohio State, is entering the transfer portal after two seasons with the Buckeyes. This was reported by a source to 247Sports.
Colin White’s Background and Achievements
White, a native of Ohio, was a former three-star recruit. He gained recognition as the Ohio Mr. Basketball Award winner and was selected for the first team in All-Ohio during his junior and senior years at Ottawa-Glandorf High School. Notably, he shares a unique achievement with LeBron James, as both players started on a state Final Four team throughout their four years of high school.
Challenges at Ohio State
Despite his impressive high school career, White faced challenges during his time at Ohio State. Injuries hindered his performance, leading to limited playing time and low statistics. Over his two seasons, White averaged just one point and one rebound per game in 8.4 minutes of play. His shooting stats included a 39.3% field goal percentage and an alarming 11.1% from three-point range across 48 games.
