After initially electing to return to Columbus, Ohio State center Felix Okpara entered the transfer portal on Sunday.
Okpara was Ohio State's top rebounder in 2023-24, pulling in 6.4 boards per game to pair with 6.6 points. He not only paced the Buckeyes but finished second across the entire Big Ten in blocked shots with 2.4 per game. He started 34 of the Buckeyes' 36 games, missing one with the flu and sitting to allow Zed Key to start on Senior Day.
He closed his Buckeye career on a 43-game block streak that started in that freshman year. He broke the school record of 40 consecutive games with a block set by Ken Johnson from 1998 to 2000.
