It’s spring football on the banks of the Olentangy, and that means we’re keeping our eyes peeled for Ohio State newcomers who receive the honor of having their stripes removed. We’ve already had a flurry of news on that front so far during spring practice, and on Saturday, during the team’s Student Appreciation Day, freshman wide receiver Quincy Porter had his black stripe removed and officially became a Buckeye.
Out of Oradell, New Jersey, Porter was a five-star wide receiver that committed to Ohio State in June of 2024, joining a long list of highly-touted receivers that have joined receivers’ coach Brian Hartline and the Buckeye program over the last few years. He was the No. 23 overall prospect and fifth ranked receiver in the class of 2025 according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
“I want to thank my teammates, coaches, coach Hart (Brian Hartline), coach Jordan (Devin Jordan), and everybody that helped me through this journey,” Porter said during the short ceremony. “Go Bucks!”
Porter is the first freshman to shed his black stripe and the fifth Ohio State newcomer overall. There will undoubtedly be more from now, through the “Spring Game,” and beyond. We’ll keep track of them all and bring the news to you as it happens.
