COLUMBUS (AP) - Seldom-used Ohio State forward Jermyl Jackson-Wilson has been released from his scholarship so that he can transfer to another school after spring quarter, the school said on Thursday.

Jackson-Wilson, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound freshman, wants more playing time, the university said.

Jackson-Wilson played in just 11 of Ohio State's 32 games and averaged 2.3 minutes.
