Porter was a five-star prospect ranked No. 23 overall and No. 5 at wide receiver in the class of 2025 by the 247Sports composite. His first season at Ohio State saw limited usage, with four receptions for 58 yards in five appearances, though injury held him out of several games. His lone multi-catch outing came at Wisconsin on Nov. 18, when he had two receptions for 30 yards.
With the Buckeyes actively recruiting portal options like Texas' DeAndre Moore to accompany Jeremiah Smith and Brandon Inniss in their starting lineup at receiver next year, Porter is likely seeking an opportunity to start elsewhere. Ohio State is hunting a bona fide wide receiver to replace Carnell Tate, who declared for the NFL draft on Tuesday.
Porter's departure leaves Ohio State thin at wide receiver, however. After Bryson Rodgers, Mylan Graham and Damarion Witten all hit the portal earlier in the cycle, the only three scholarship wideouts returning next season for the Buckeyes, outside Smith and Inniss, are redshirt freshmen Phillip Bell, Bodpegn Miller and De'zie Jones. Five-star prospect Chris Henry Jr. is one of four incoming freshman wideouts, along with Jerquaden Guilford, Brock Boyd and Jaeden Ricketts.
New Ohio State wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton will have work to do building and developing his first receiving room with the Buckeyes.
