Ohio State freshman guard Meechie Johnson announced on Tuesday afternoon he is entering his name into the transfer portal after two seasons with the program.

“Since a kid, I’ve always dreamed of playing at The Ohio State University, and I will always be able to say God gave me what my heart desired,” Johnson said in a post on Twitter. “First, I would like to thank God for all of the opportunities he’s allowed me to have and also my family and friends who have been there for me throughout this long journey.

“Second, I want to thank the entire coaching staff, strength coaches, trainers, alumni and professors for contributing to me having a wonderful experience while attending The Ohio State University. With that being said, I will be entering the transfer portal.”

The 6-foot-2 and 172-pound Johnson averaged 3.2 points and 1.1 rebounds in 43 games for the Buckeyes over the last two seasons.

This is a breaking news story that will be updated.
