Overview
- Biles, who spoke Friday, said he does not want to be an Ohio State Buckeye and cited being passed over in high school as his reason.
- He entered the transfer portal after the 2025 season and chose Texas after a visit to Austin, canceling a planned trip to South Florida.
- Reporting from Texas outlets says Ohio State called Biles during his time in the portal but he declined their interest.
- Biles developed at Pitt into an All‑ACC linebacker with roughly 185 tackles, 31.5 tackles for loss and 10 sacks over his college career.
- Texas hosts Ohio State on Sept. 12, creating a direct on‑field test of Biles’s decision and highlighting how the portal can reshape local recruiting narratives.
