Former Wright State star Brandon Noel transfers to Ohio State
COLUMBUS Ohio (WDTN) – Ohio State's latest transfer portal addition is one of Wright State's most dominant players. After a stellar three-year career with the Raiders, star forward Brandon Noel is making the leap from the Horizon League to the Big Ten to join Jake Diebler and the Buckeyes in Columbus for his senior season. The 6-foot-8 Lucasville, Ohio native recorded 19 points per game for the Raiders this past year, while adding 7.7 rebounds per contest. The two-time second-team All-Horizon League selection shot 55.2% from the field and 35.8% from three in 2024-25. Noel played in 97 games with 90 starts for Wright State and averaged 15.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and shot 37% on threes all-time at WSU. After redshirting his first two seasons, Noel was named the Horizon League Freshman of the Year after an exceptional 2022-23 rookie campaign. Noel is the second Wright State player to transfer to Ohio State in recent years, following Tanner Holden. Holden played the 2022-23 season with the Buckeyes before rejoining the Raiders for his final year of college eligbility. Noel will also join former Indiana guard and Centerville alum Gabe Cupps as transfer portal additions for the Buckeyes so far this offseason. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ohio State basketball adds another scoring option transfer for next season
Ohio State basketball adds another scoring option transfer for next season The Ohio State basketball roster continues to take shape. The latest news comes from the transfer portal with the addition of 6-foot-8-inch Wright State forward Brandon Noel. Originally out of Lucasville, Ohio, Noel will have one year of eligibility left and adds an additional scoring option from a player who averaged 19 points per contest for the Raiders last season. That is, as long as those scoring abilities translate to the rough and tumble Big Ten. He went to high school not too far away from Ohio State, just down Route 23 in Chillicothe, where he was an All-Ohio First Teamer his senior year. Noel also showed great shot selection as evidenced by his 55.2% field goal percentage. He can knock the three down a little, having posted a 35.8% clip during the 2024-2025 season, and will get on the boards as well, having pulled down 7.7 rebounds per game. In other words, head coach Jake Deibler and company should be getting a versatile guy that can help them in multiple ways. The addition of Noel brings the total of transfer portal additions to three so far. The Buckeyes also received commitments from the portal from Gabe Cupps of Indiana and Christopher Tilly of Santa Clara. Ohio State may not be done adding to the roster, and as more news becomes available, we'll bring it to you.
