Ohio State sophomore guard Bowen Hardman has entered the transfer portal, the university confirmed to The Dispatch Thursday.

Hardman played in 18 games for the Buckeyes (22-14) this season. He averaged 1.8 points per game and shot 44% from the floor.

During his freshman year, he appeared in seven games and was 4-for-8 shooting with all his attempts coming from behind the arc.

The 6-3, 190-pound Cincinnati native committed to OSU in May of 2020 as the No. 5 prospect from Ohio according to 247Sports.com. When he signed with Ohio State the next November, 247Sports had him ranked as the No. 8 prospect from Ohio and the No. 48 shooting guard in the nation. He also attracted the interest of the Cincinnati Bearcats while at Princeton High School and received an offer from them the day before he committed to the Buckeyes.
