The 6-foot-7, 210-pound guard committed to Ohio State last June , joining the program in the fall after playing professionally in Spain before that. Grujicic appeared in just six games for the Buckeyes, logging 33 minutes and scoring six points on 1-for-8 shooting while going 3-for-7 at the free throw line. After one year at #OhioState , Mathieu Grujicic has entered the transfer portal.
Fifth #Buckeyes player to leave: https://t. co/mh1zVQd07X — Adam Jardy (@AdamJardy) April 13, 2026 Grujcic, or “Gru” as he has become known, appeared in six of Ohio State’s first 12 games, but did not make an appearance after recording a “1-Trillion” against Grambling State on December 23. He seemed optimistic but not 100% certain about his future at Ohio State the day before the Buckeyes’ 66-64 loss to TCU in the NCAA Tournament, telling the Columbus Dispatch , “Let’s see.
Hopefully I stay at Ohio State. I definitely want to stay here, so let’s see what happens. ” Grujicic may be a candidate for a medical redshirt because he only played in six of Ohio State’s 34 games and did not play in the final 22 games.
