The decision by the All-American to skip his senior season was no surprise.
Liddell had the best season of his three-year Buckeyes career, averaging 19.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 2.5 assists per game.
Liddell scored in double figures in every game and had 13 games of 20 or more points.
“E.J. has represented our program at the highest level with his excellent play, leadership and of course, his trademark smile. E.J. will always be a Buckeye. We love you, my man,” head coach Chris Holtmann said.
Ohio State finished 20-12 this season and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
