Myles Herro, younger brother of NBA Star Tyler Herro, commits to Ohio State
The Herro name is heading back to college basketball — this time to Columbus.
Myles Herro, the younger brother of Miami Heat standout and former Kentucky star Tyler Herro, has announced his commitment to Ohio State. A 6-foot-3 point guard from Whitnall High School in Greenfield, Wisconsin, Myles is a three-star recruit in the 2025 class and rated as the No. 40 point guard prospect nationally by 247Sports.
Herro chose the Buckeyes over interest from several other programs, citing a strong connection and vision shared with the coaching staff.
“I was already in touch with a few other schools before Ohio State reached out,” Herro told 247Sports. “But once they called, me and my dad sat down and really talked through the opportunity and everything that could come with it. It just made a lot of sense.”
While he won’t be arriving in Columbus on a full scholarship, sources indicate Herro will receive a partial athletic scholarship, with name, image, and likeness (NIL) opportunities expected to cover the remaining costs.
Tyler Herro’s path is well known — a former Wisconsin commit turned Kentucky Wildcat, he averaged 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists per game in his lone season in Lexington before becoming a lottery pick and one of the NBA’s premier young scorers with the Heat.
Myles, while not carrying the same recruiting hype, brings a high basketball IQ, a confident shooting stroke, and clear upside to Ohio State's backcourt. He’s grown up with a front-row seat to what it takes to play at the highest levels — and now he'll get his own chance to carve out a name in Big Ten basketball.
Notably, Kentucky was not involved in Myles’ recruitment.
Ohio State’s 2025 class continues to take shape, and the addition of a player with both skill and pedigree could pay dividends down the road. Myles Herro’s commitment adds a compelling storyline to a program looking to return to national prominence — and it ensures that the Herro family remains a part of college basketball’s fabric for at least a few more years.
