Vasean Washington, a 2022 Springfield High School graduate who spent the last four seasons at Dartmouth College, announced his commitment to the Ohio State Buckeyes on Wednesday.

Washington, a 6-foot-5, 295-pound offensive lineman, has one season of eligibility remaining. He started at right tackle in 2025.

Washington appeared in eight games as a junior in 2024 and in 10 games as a sophomore in 2023.

Washington committed to Dartmouth in January 2022. He was a senior at Springfield in the 2021 season when the Wildcats made the first of three straight trips to the Division I state championship game. He made the All-Greater Western Ohio Conference first team as a senior and the second team as a junior.

Washington is one of 17 players Ohio State has added from the transfer portal this winter.

One Springfield grad left the Buckeyes. Cornerback Aaron Scott Jr. transferred to Oregon after two seasons at Ohio State.
