Austin Parks isn't going far to play his final two college basketball seasons.

The former Ohio State center committed to Toledo out of the transfer portal on Wednesday.

A native of St. Marys, Ohio, Parks didn't see much action in his two seasons as a Buckeye, appearing in just 24 total games. He averaged 1.3 points and 0.9 rebounds in 8.3 minutes per game across 15 appearances in 2024-25.

Parks entered the transfer portal two days after Ohio State's season ended on March 18. A second center, Aaron Bradshaw, is transferring from the Buckeyes, but Jake Diebler has since added back 7-foot former Santa Clara center Christoph Tilly. Tilly, junior Sean Stewart, sophomore Ivan Njegovan and incoming freshman A'mare Bynum will be options at center for OSU in 2025-26.
