Ohio State Defensive End Joshua Mickens Enters Transfer Portal After Three Years with Buckeyes
Eleven Warriors • • sports
Key Points:
- Mick Mickens, a four-star recruit from the 2023 class, is transferring from Ohio State after limited playing time over three seasons, with six tackles and one sack in the past two years.
- He will have two years of eligibility remaining at his next school.
- Mickens' transfer follows Ohio State's addition of edge rusher Qua Russaw from Alabama for the 2026 class, which likely impacted Mickens' standing on the depth chart.
- Had Mickens stayed, he probably would have remained behind others on the defensive end depth chart, especially if Kenyatta Jackson Jr. returns for a fifth year.
- Mickens is the 29th Ohio State player to enter the transfer portal since the season
