Former Ohio State basketball forward announces transfer destination

Former Ohio State Buckeye and Columbus, Ohio, native has announced where he’ll play his last season of basketball. Seth Towns will transfer to Howard University.

Towns was a standout out at Northland High School before heading to the Ivy League. At Harvard, Towns was named the Ivy League Player of the Year at the conclusion of his sophomore campaign. Injuries would keep him from seeing much action for his remaining two years in Cambridge.

Towns then decided it was time to come home in 2020 and transferred to Ohio State. Coming off an injury-riddled two years, Towns would struggle to find his footing in Scarlet and Gray. While there were flashes of what he once was, he only averaged a little over 10 minutes per game and less than four points per game. The Buckeyes were a No. 2 seed that season in the NCAA Tournament, but Towns would not suit up again for the Buckeyes battling more injuries.

Towns will now join a Howard team that made it to the 2023 NCAA Tournament. It was the first time the Bison had made it to the Big Dance since 1992 winning the MEAC Conference Championship.

Hopefully, the former Buckeye can stay healthy and finish out his career on a high note. He certainly has all the tools to help any team get better if he can stay on the court.
