Seth Towns Commits To Ohio State

Mar 22, 2020 1:35 AM

Former Harvard guard Seth Towns announced his commitment to Ohio State on Saturday night.

Towns was rated as the best graduate transfer on the market, according to ESPN.

"I'm coming home. From a basketball standpoint, it makes sense for me. Obviously, there's no place like home. Coach [Chris] Holtmann and I have developed a really good relationship; I trust him wholly. It's great, it's been my childhood dream. I have a painting of me in an Ohio State jersey on my childhood bedroom wall, even still. I got that when I was 2 years old," said Towns.

Duke was also interested in Towns.

Towns, who missed the past two seasons due to a knee injury, averaged 16.0 points and 5.7 rebounds during the 2017-18 season.
