Ohio State Lands LSU Wide Receiver Kyle Parker as Second Portal Addition at Receiver

The move reflects a shift toward portal recruiting under new receivers coach Cortez Hankton.

Overview

  • Parker committed on Jan. 16 to join Ohio State's 2026 roster after three seasons at LSU.
  • He recorded 31 receptions for 330 yards in 2025, appearing in 13 games with five starts.
  • According to Pro Football Focus, just over 60% of his snaps came in the slot, indicating an inside role.
  • He returned from a torn triceps that sidelined most of 2024 to produce last season.
  • His addition comes after UTSA transfer Devin McCuin as Ohio State replenishes a receiver group depleted by five transfer departures and Carnell Tate’s early NFL draft entry.
