Meechie Johnson Jr. is headed to South Carolina.

Following two seasons with the Buckeyes, the Cleveland native entered the transfer portal on April 12 and announced on social media Monday that his next step will be with the Gamecocks.

Battling through injuries this past year, Johnson appeared in 26 games and started five of them for the Buckeyes, but averaged just 4.4 points per game, shot 30.8 percent from the floor and 27.8 percent from 2-point range.

Johnson, a four-star recruit out of high school, reclassified to join Ohio State a year early in 2020, but appeared in just 17 games for the Buckeyes two seasons ago as he played just 5.
