IMG Academy 2022 Tight End Jax Porter Willing To Consider Preferred Walk-On Opportunity at Ohio State Over Scholarship Offers

When 2022 tight end Jax Porter entered Ohio Stadium last Saturday, he didn’t want to leave.

“I loved it,” the 6-foot-5, 232-pound tight end said about his visit during OSU’s 41-20 win over Tulsa. “Definitely loved the stadium and tradition and I loved seeing the fans. It was a cool experience. I was blown away.”

It was Porter’s first visit to Columbus, and the Florida resident is already hoping to make a return trip later in the fall. He’s only been on OSU’s radar the last month or so, and was first contacted by OSU assistant director of player personnel Justin Perez, who invited him to the Tulsa game.
