Ohio State wide receiver Kyion Grayes enters the transfer portal after two seasons with the Buckeyes.

The No. 88 overall prospect in the 2022 class, Grayes becomes the third wide receiver from his class to leave Columbus before their college career ends, along with Caleb Burton (Auburn) and Kaleb Brown (Iowa). His decision to enter the portal leaves Kojo Antwi as the lone receiver from the 2022 class left on the Buckeyes’ roster.
Grayes’ departure comes after back-to-back years with little playing time for the Buckeyes. After appearing in two games as a freshman (Toledo and Iowa) and catching just one pass, Grayes did not play at all in 2023 as he was sidelined by an injury that forced him into a walking boot for most of the season.
The return of Emeka Egbuka as well as the emergence of Carnell Tate, Brandon Inniss and Jeremiah Smith didn’t help his case for an increased workload in 2024.
In Ohio State’s spring game, Grayes earned the most reps of any wide receiver, recording 49 snaps. He ended the scrimmage with two catches for 15 yards.
Now in the portal, Grayes finishes his Ohio State career with one catch for two yards. The Chandler, Arizona, native will have three years of eligibility to use at his new school.
Just sayin': Another case of "can't really blame him for transferring". There were (probably closed to) a half dozen WRs ahead of him on the depth chart and several were just Freshman and Sophomores. Regardless I wish him well at his new school.
