Ohio State didn't have to leave the Big Ten to make a roster addition.
Jamari Wheeler, a Penn State Nittany Lion for the past four years, announced his decision to join the Buckeyes via transfer on Tuesday evening.
The 6-foot, 170-pound guard will play one season of basketball in Columbus. He'll utilize the extra year of eligibility offered by the NCAA in response to the coronavirus pandemic after playing four years in white and blue.
