COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Jaedon LeDee has officially put his name in the transfer portal after one season at Ohio State.

“Jaedon is a terrific young man," head coach Chris Holtmann said in a statement. “We appreciate the contribution he made to our team and wish him the best going forward.”

He his the second member of Ohio State’s frontcourt to transfer in the last five months, joining Micah Potter who left for Wisconsin prior to the season.

LeDee was the only freshman this season to never be a part of the Buckeyes’ rotation averaging 6.6 minutes in 26 games. He averaged three points per game. He originally came to Columbus as a four-star recruit from The Kinkaid School in Houston and was the first player in the 2018 class to commit. But he spent this season stuck sitting behind Kaleb Wesson.

He scored a career high 16 points in Ohio State’s win over Purdue-Fort Wayne. He would reach that total in his second start in Ohio State’s second loss to Purdue. Both starts this season came due to disciplinary actions that sidelined Kaleb Wesson.

He did not see action during either the Big Ten or NCAA Tournament.

The Buckeyes were already planning on adding another big man to its 2019 recruiting class by offering 7-foot center Ibrahima Diallo of Prolific Prep (CA), but will now have another open spot.
