Potter, a former four-star prospect at Mentor High School ranked the No. 6 player in Ohio by 247Sports, did not play during the 2021 season because of a foot injury in addition to emergency eye surgery to repair a torn retina.
He played four games during the 2020 season, making two tackles.
More from dispatch.com's Joey Kaufman last month:
Despite the health scare, Potter had bounced back by March and gone through spring practice. His listed size at 6-foot-6 and 275 pounds gave him a chance to seize a large role, allowing him to line up at either defensive end or tackle.
In the spring game last Saturday, he finished with six tackles and a pair of sacks, but Ohio State maintains a deep rotation along its defensive line with 15 other scholarship linemen.
With Potter’s entry into the transfer portal, the Buckeyes are down to 86 scholarship players, leaving them only one above the 85-man limit for next season.
