Ohio State sophomore forward Aaron Bradshaw is being investigated by the university for a possible domestic incident that occurred at his off-campus apartment last week, according to a report from the Columbus Dispatch.
The report comes three days after Ohio State released a statement before its blowout win over Campbell on Friday that Bradshaw was “not currently participating in team activities” for a reason that could not be explained due to “federal privacy laws.” The 7-1 forward did not play against the Camels and is not expected to return for Ohio State’s game against Green Bay on Monday night (7 p.m., Big Ten Network).
After the Campbell game, Ohio State head coach Jake Diebler declined to provide further comment on the situation, referring to the university statement each of the three times he was asked about Bradshaw.
“I’m understanding that you guys may have some questions, I just have to refer to the statement that was released and can’t have any comment on that,” Diebler said. “Just know I can’t comment on that any further.”
“I could just tell you right now that he’s not participating currently, and anything else would just have to refer to the statement,” he added when asked when Bradshaw stopped participating in team activities.”
According to The Dispatch, no charges have been filed against Bradshaw and there is no time frame for his possible return or a final decision on the university investigation. He is still listed on Ohio State’s official roster.
Bradshaw, a former five-star prospect who transferred from Kentucky this offseason, started each of Ohio State’s first four games of the 2024-25 season, averaging 7.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in 23.4 minutes in those contests. The 7-1 former McDonald’s All-American selection was also the Buckeyes’ leading shot-blocker in that span with seven swats.
