A former Ohio State wide receiver has transferred to Bowling Green and will play for head coach Eddie George. After four years with the Buckeyes, Reis Stocksdale is heading to Northwest Ohio with one year of eligibility left.
If there is one place that OSU has depth, it is at the wide receiver position. Brian Hartline has stockpiled quite a collection of four and five-star receivers, leaving little room for playing time for walk-ons. Heck, Ohio State has so much talent in the receivers’ room that some of the former four and five-star recruits have had a hard time finding the field. So, with one year left and a degree in hand, Stocksdale has chosen to go to a place where he might be able to contribute.
During his career in Scarlet and Gray, Stocksdale recorded one catch for 12 yards all the way back in 2022. He’ll hope to see more action as a redshirt senior who has had the opportunity to be coached by and practice against some of the best talent in the country.
George, the 1995 Heisman Trophy winner, will be in year No. 1 with the Falcons after spending the past four seasons as the head coach at Tennessee State. He compiled a record of 24-22 with the Tigers and was named the Big South OVC Coach of the Year in 2024. Stocksdale gets to be coached by yet another OSU legend and will look to make an immediate impact with BGSU.
