Buckeyes center Aaron Bradshaw entering transfer portal

COLUMBUS — Ohio State brought Aaron Bradshaw in last offseason as a former five-star prospect with uptapped potential.

He’ll be heading to his third school to try reaching that potential. The former Kentucky big man is leaving Ohio State through the transfer portal after one season with the Buckeyes, On3’s Pete Nakos reported Tuesday.

Bradshaw will have two years of eligibility remaining wherever he chooses to continue his college career.

After an underwhelming freshman season at Kentucky, Bradshaw picked Jake Diebler and Ohio State last offseason with the hope of becoming an impact big man in the Big Ten. Instead, he struggled with consistency on his way to averaging 6.0 points per game and 2.7 rebounds per game. His best performance of the year came early in November, when he had 16 points and eight rebounds in a win over Youngstown State.

As a recruit coming out of Camden High School in New Jersey, Bradshaw was the No. 4 overall player in the country for his class. He was the top-ranked player in the state of New Jersey and the top-ranked power forward.

But after a shaky stint at Kentucky, Bradshaw tried to revitalize his career with the Buckeyes. Now he’ll hit the reset button again and seek a new home for his college playing career. Aaron Bradshaw is leaving Ohio State for the transfer portal after one season with the Buckeyes.
