Ohio State men's basketball coach Jake Diebler added another big piece to the roster for his first full season as coach when he landed Duke forward Sean Stewart out of the transfer portal today.
The 6-9, 227-pound Stewart was a McDonald's All-American a year ago, when he was ranked as the nation's No. 22 overall prospect in the 2023 class by 247Sports. Stewart, a native of Windemere, Fla., is the son of former Cal-Berkeley forward and eight-year NBA veteran Michael Stewart.
Stewart possesses relatively average height for a power forward at 6-9 but his leaping ability and elite athleticism allow him to play above that size, as he broke Zion Williamson's school record for standing vertical leap at Duke by jumping 36 inches.
In his one season at Duke, Sean Stewart played behind All-American center Kyle Filipowski and a pair of veterans in Mark Mitchell and Ryan Young. He saw action in 33 of the team's 36 games, averaging 8.4 minutes, 2.6 points and 3.2 rebounds. He hit on 57 percent of his shots from the floor over the course of the year.

* Seniors (2): G Meechie Johnson (6-2), G Micah Parrish (6-6)
* Juniors (3): G Bruce Thornton (6-2), G Evan Mahaffey (6-6), F Kalen Etzler (6-8)
