Brandon Noel – and Ohio State – is prepared to see if his game translates to the Big Ten.

The former Wright State star forward is transferring to Ohio State, he announced on Monday, giving Jake Diebler a diverse scoring and rebounding option for the wings or frontcourt in his second season as the Buckeyes' head coach.

Noel, a native of Lucasville, Ohio, racked up 19 points per game for the Raiders in 2024-25, adding 7.7 rebounds per game while shooting 55.2% from the field and 35.8% from 3-point range. He earned second-team All-Horizon League honors for his efforts.

For an Ohio State team in need of more productive players to support stars Bruce Thornton, John Mobley Jr. and Devin Royal in 2024-25 – a reminder the Buckeyes' bench scored just three points in their season-ending loss to Iowa in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament – Noel's efficiency numbers are intriguing.

Effective field goal percentage properly weighs 3-point shots as 1.5 times more valuable to give an overall picture of scoring efficiency. Thornton had the best effective field goal percentage of Ohio State players who attempted at three shots per game in 2024-25 at 58%. Noel topped that with Wright State last year at 59.6%.

Noel also produced as a rebounder with 9.1 boards per 40 minutes. He's been a starter and scoring weapon for Wright State since his freshman year of 2022-23, when he averaged 13 points per game. In his career, Noel averages 15.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, shooting 37.3% from 3 for an effective field goal percentage of 60.4%.

Given that Noel flexed plenty of dribble-drive and shooting ability with the Raiders, he could be a wing option for Ohio State to replace graduated guard Micah Parrish and forward Evan Mahaffey, who transferred to Akron this offseason. Sophomore Colin White would be his top competition for a starting small forward job, or he could play power forward while Royal plays the 3.

The Ohio State Buckeyes have landed an extremely productive forward in the transfer portal.

Noel is a product of Chillicothe High School in Lucasville, OH. As a member of the Class of 2020, he was unranked coming out of high school and opted to stay home and attend Wright State. Now, he will go from Dayton (i.e. Wright State) to Columbus after three productive years for the Raiders.

Noel appeared in 97 games, making 90 starts, over three years. As a junior, the 6-foot-8 forward averaged a career-high 19 points and 7.7 rebounds. He shot 55.2% from the field, including 35.8% from three-point range. Noel is not a big threat from deep, averaging just 2.4 attempts over the course of his career, but it is a weapon in his arsenal.

As a freshman, Noel averaged 13 points and 8.7 rebounds in a year where he started 26 of 33 games. Noel would go onto start 64 games over the next two years. He put up 14.5 points and 8 rebounds per game as a sophomore. This was a major addition for a Buckeye team that needs to add talent this offseason.

Just sayin': The 2025/2026 will be his 6th year in college. You have to wonder if he:

1) still has NBA (or at least) professional basketball dreams.
2) is still working on his degree.
3) just wants to play 1 more year and see if he can make it in Div I basketball
4) knows he can get more in NIL money for a year than he would be able to get on any other job.

14 and 8 would be humongous stats for the Bucks. Probably closer to half that but if he can be consistent that would be a good addition

He had a huge season this year for Wright St - actually averaged 19 ppg. He only had 3 games where he didn't score double-digits, and 2 were against Oakland. He has more of a skill-oriented, below-the-rim game. Wright St is low-major, so I'd take the stats with a huge grain of salt. Looking at his game logs, he must struggle against length and shouldn't be expected to do much against certain teams. We will need him to come in and be a backup at PF and fill in at the 5 as needed, and just keep us from falling behind when he's in the game.

He put up 20/8 vs Kentucky that gives some hope that he can compete against better teams.

20 points on 21 shots is pretty average production, but yes if we can just get average play against quality competition, it would be a step up from what we've had.

That's really what I'm looking for out of this years crop. At this stage where we currently stand it's not realistic to expect us to land upper level production from the portal.
