COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Chris Holtmann missed out on CJ Walker the first time around. This time, Walker will join Holtmann as Ohio State's likely future starting point guard.

Walker announced Sunday he would transfer from Florida State to Ohio State. He'll have to sit out the 2018-19 season under transfer rules, then have two years to play for the Buckeyes.

Walker was the No. 113 overall recruit in the Class of 2016, a point guard from Indianapolis who was a target of Holtmann and his staff while they were at Butler. Walker originally committed to Purdue before decommitting and then choosing Florida State.

He played two seasons with the Seminoles, taking over the starting point guard role last season. He averaged 8.5 points and 2.4 assists as the Seminoles reached the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament before losing to Michigan.

A 6-foot-1, 195-pounder, Walker shot 36 percent from 3-point range, 41 percent from the field 73 percent from the foul line. He started 34 of 35 games but his playing time diminished later in the season.

He averaged only 14.6 minutes and 3.8 points in his final seven games and announced three days after the loss the Michigan that he would be leaving Florida State.

The Buckeyes have starting point guard C.J. Jackson back for his senior season, but Walker now sets up as Jackson's replacement for 2019-20. Ohio State is still in the market for a graduate transfer or two who would be immediately eligible for this season.
