COLUMBUS — One of the finishing touches on Ohio State’s transfer portal haul for 2026 is a speedy receiver from LSU who’s reuniting with his old position coach.

Kyle Parker, who spent three years in Baton Rouge playing for now-Ohio State receivers coach Cortez Hankton, will rejoin Hankton in Columbus. The 5-foot-11 receiver has two years of eligibility remaining (and potentially a third thanks to an injury suffered in 2024). Parker is the second transfer receiver to join the Buckeyes this season, along with UTSA’s Devin McCuin.
