E.J. Liddell officially announces he will hire an agent and enter the 2022 NBA draft after three seasons with the Buckeyes.
Liddell led the Buckeyes with averages of 19.4 points and 7.9 rebounds this season, and led the Big Ten with 2.6 blocks per game. Liddell closes his Ohio State career having appeared in 92 and starting 61 of them, averaging 14.1 points and 6.1 boards across his three years in the program.
The No. 44 overall prospect in the country out of Illinois' Belleville West High School, Liddell showed promise as a freshman contributor for the Buckeyes, putting up 6.7 points and 3.8 rebounds off the bench as he appeared in all 31 games for Ohio State in 2019-10. But Liddell didn't blossom into a start until his second year, in which he averaged 16.2 points and 6.7 boards during a first-team All-Big Ten campaign for the Buckeyes.
Liddell tested the NBA draft process last offseason alongside fellow Ohio State standout Duane Washington, but unlike Washington, Liddell opted to return for another season in scarlet and gray. During the 2021-22 season, Liddell posted double-digit scoring figures in every game, and became the 60th player to score at least 1,000 points for Ohio State. Liddell finishes with a total of 1,298 in a Buckeye uniform, which puts him behind just 31 players in program history.
