"For those who supported and believed in me over the past two years, thank you," Carson said via Instagram. "I can't put into words how much it truly means to me. ... With that being said, it is in my best interest to enter the transfer portal."
Recruited out of Buchanan, Michigan, in November 2022, Carson was named the 2023 Prep Girls Hoops-Michigan Player of the Year following her senior season at Buchanan High School.
Ohio State already has four players graduating from the program this season. Carson's departure puts the roster at nine players.
