Ohio State defensive lineman Noah Potter has decided to enter his name into the NCAA transfer portal. The news comes a week after the Buckeyes closed out spring practice.

Matt Zenitz of On3 reported the news on Saturday. Potter was a 4-star member of Ohio State’s 2019 recruiting class. He is the younger brother of Micah Potter, who started his career at Ohio State playing basketball before transferring to Wisconsin.

Potter spent three seasons with the Buckeyes but saw limited playing time during his career in Columbus. Over his time at Ohio State, the defensive lineman appeared in just 7 contests.

Potter played in 3 games as a true freshman in 2019 and saw action in 4 contests during the 2020 campaign. The Buckeyes won a B1G title and earned a trip to the College Football Playoff in both seasons.

Last year, Potter appeared in 1 game. Ohio State finished with an 11-2 record.

Potter will still have 3 years of eligibility to use at his next destination. He leaves Columbus with 3 total tackles, 2 of which were solo stops.

As a high school recruit, Potter ranked No. 334 nationally, per 247Sports composite rankings. He was considered one of the Top 25 strong-side defensive ends and a Top 10 player out of Ohio.
