Ohio State WR Kyion Grayes plans to enter NCAA Transfer Portal

Ohio State wide receiver Kyion Grayes plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned. He has multiple years of eligibility remaining.

After playing in two games and redshirting as a true freshman during the 2022 season, Grayes did not play for the Buckeyes in 2023. He recorded one reception for two yards during his freshman season.

Buried on the depth chart and lacking the reps and production, Grayes is now set to enter the portal.

He will likely be a sought-after player in the portal, given his recruiting pedigree.

Grayes played high school football at Chandler (Az.) High School, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 104 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

A veteran defender recently left Ohio State for the portal

Ohio State linebacker Nigel Glover entered the NCAA transfer portal on the final day of April. He started his career at Northwestern before playing for the Buckeyes.

He originally signed with Northwestern out of high school but transferred out upon the firing of Pat Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald was relieved of his duties amid a hazing scandal.

Glover was the highest ranked player in Northwestern’s class last year. But he did not see time with Ohio State last fall and took a redshirt year.

As a member of the Class of 2023, Glover was a four-star recruit out of Dayton (Ohio) Northmont, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 10 overall prospect in the state, the No. 31 linebacker in the class and the No. 306 overall prospect in the class.

“We’ve known about Nigel for a long time,” Buckeyes defensive coordinator Jim Knowles said last summer. “And, really, it’s his attitude — the way that he wants to improve, that he’s he’s so into the X’s and O’s. He’s that kind of kid. He’s the kind of kid that’s coachable and wants to learn.”

Among the teams in the mix for Glover’s services last year were Kentucky, Michigan State and Michigan. During his high school recruitment, Illinois, Miami (OH) and West Virginia were involved.
