Three-star, strong-side defensive end Alex Williams is entering the transfer portal.
He redshirted his freshman season which will still allow him four more years of eligibility. It’s also key to note that Williams entering the portal does not fully guarantee he leave Ohio State.
Originally, Williams, who is an Ohio-native, had committed to West Virginia. However, he eventually made his way to Columbus, and he’s apparently looking elsewhere, likely not seeing a future for him with the Buckeyes.
Physically intimidating at 6-foot-7 and 250 pounds, Williams wasn’t heavily recruited and took the top offer on the table. Now, he’ll be for a place where he can actually find his way onto the field.
Yahoo! Sports’ Pete Thamel broke the news on Williams.
With a three-star freshman recruit inbound, while also retaining several others, the Buckeyes should be fine as they look to bolster their defensive line.
