Cleveland’s Ohio State Receiver to Enter Transfer Portal
Former Glenville wide receiver Damarion Witten is preparing to enter the transfer portal starting January 2. This decision follows a challenging tenure at Ohio State, where Witten, a member of the 2024 recruitment class, was unable to secure meaningful playing opportunities.
Damarion Witten’s Journey at Ohio State
Witten joined the Ohio State Buckeyes with expectations of contributing as either a wide receiver or tight end. However, despite his potential, he did not record any receptions during his time in Columbus. His transition into the program did not yield the results anticipated by coaches and fans alike.
Recent Developments
On January 1, Witten became the second player from Glenville to announce his intention to enter the transfer portal, shortly after the team’s loss to Miami in the Cotton Bowl. His move comes at a time of uncertainty for many student-athletes exploring new opportunities for playing time and development.

The transfer portal opens doors for athletes seeking a fresh start. It allows players like Witten to find new programs that might better fit their skills and offer more significant playing chances.
