Graduate Transfer WR Help?

I can’t help but ask if there is potential for a graduate transfer WR into OSU for next year. The Buckeyes have GREAT young talent at WR but with Brown and Samuel leaving, there is not much experience on the depth chart. I don’t know if Urban likes this stuff but adding a polished, experienced WR (like ‘Bama did with Gehrig Dieter) would be a great help for ’17 and not get in the way too much of the young WR’s that are so important to the future.

I am sure there are numerous guys eligible out there, but La Tech’s Carlos Henderson is a beast and has been at college for 4 years now (should be graduating) w/ a year of eligibility remaining.

EDIT: I do not advocate dumping someone from the roster to make room. I initially had Brown's scholarship in mind since he is leaving. I don't know who will be sticking around, but adding a grad transfer WR could make sense over offering a '17 prep grad if Brown's scholarship is not enough. We are short on experienced WR's, definitely not short on talented teenage WR's so maybe adding an experienced WR on a 1-year scholarship makes sense.
