Ethan Onianwa Transfers to Ohio State

Ethan Onianwa, a 6-foot-6, 345-pound offensive tackle from Rice, has committed to Ohio State for his final season of eligibility after considering multiple schools including Florida State, Iowa, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. He is regarded as one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the transfer portal, with a strong performance that includes only one sack allowed on 350 pass-blocking snaps last season. Onianwa's addition marks him as the fifth transfer recruit for Ohio State, joining offensive tackle Phillip Daniels and others. His commitment comes as the Buckeyes look to fill gaps left by departing tackles, with Onianwa likely to start next season. He expressed the importance of joining a team with a winning culture and quality coaching, which he found appealing at Ohio State. Onianwa's development and performance will be closely watched as he integrates into the Buckeye's offensive line.
