Ohio State guard Eugene Brown enters the transfer portal after three seasons with the Buckeyes.
Brown entered the program as a four-star recruit out of Georgia's Southwest DeKalb High School in 2020, but played only 6.2 minutes per game as a true freshman. Brown found more opportunities as a sophomore, earning a starting role down the stretch of the 2021-22 season as he averaged 3.5 points and 2.4 rebounds per game in 26 appearances.
While Brown was expected to play an important role for the Buckeyes this past season, his momentum was stunted by a preseason concussion that kept him out of Ohio State's first 11 games. Often playing out of position as a de facto big man in small-ball lineups for the Buckeyes, Brown appeared in 22 games and only started one of them – nine fewer than he did in his second season.
Brown thanked the Buckeye coaching staff, medical personnel, media, professors and fans in his statement on social media and will leave Ohio State with a degree. "The lessons, experiences and bonds I have created while here will forever be a chapter in my life journey that has made me who I am today," Brown's statement said in part.
