Former Ohio State hoops player Eugene Brown III has found his new home

Eugene Brown III will return to his home state of Georgia after entering the transfer portal in March.

Eugene Brown III made the decision to move on from Ohio State at the end of March. He spent three seasons with the Buckeyes, but the writing was on the wall with OSU freshmen getting the starting nods as the season wore on. With another highly touted class coming in this year, Brown thought it would be in his best interest to find a program where he could shine.

The Former Buckeye announced that he was coming home on his personal Instagram page stating that he had committed to Georgia Southern. Brown was a star at Southwest DeKalb High School in Conyers, Georgia, where he came to Ohio State as a four-star prospect in 2020.

Injuries kept Brown from seeing his full potential in the Scarlet and Gray but hopefully, things will fare better for the young man at his new home. Brown will have two years of eligibility remaining for the Eagles.
