The 2026-27 Ohio State men’s basketball team has arrived on campus.
After having a week of testing, acclimation and medical evaluations, the Buckeyes are beginning summer workouts in earnest during the week of June 8. Coach Jake Diebler will open his third offseason with a 13-man roster featuring more new faces than returnees. The Buckeyes have six players back from the 2025-26 team that reached the NCAA Tournament, and they are joined by four transfers and three freshmen.
Accordingly, Ohio State has released an updated roster featuring heights, weights and jersey numbers for all 13 players. Here’s how the Buckeyes measured in and what numbers they will be wearing this season.
