Another Herro on the Hardwood: Myles Herro Commits to Big Ten’s Ohio State

“Another Herro on the Hardwood: Myles Herro Commits to Big Ten’s Ohio State”

The Herro legacy in basketball just got another chapter.

Myles Herro, the youngest of the Herro basketball brothers and sibling to NBA All-Star Tyler Herro, has officially committed to play for Ohio State. The 6-foot-3 point guard from Whitnall High School (WI) chose the Buckeyes over offers from Cal Poly, Southern Illinois, and Western Illinois  opting to make his mark in the Big Ten.

While Myles may not carry the same national hype that surrounded Tyler during his one-and-done Kentucky campaign, his game speaks for itself. A three-star prospect ranked No. 288 in the class of 2025, Myles averaged 22 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds per game as a senior  earning First-Team All-Conference and All-Area honors. He starred on the AAU circuit with Team Herro, coached by his father, Chris Herro.

“I’d describe my game as a pass-first guard who can create when needed and score the ball too,” Herro told On3. “I take pride in being a two-way player, someone who can impact both ends of the floor and bring energy every time I step on the court.”

Though the recruiting rankings may not jump off the page, Myles is arriving at a program on the rise. Ohio State finished 17-15 last season, including a win over Kentucky in the CBS Sports Classic. Now under the leadership of Jake Diebler, the Buckeyes have revamped their roster and are eyeing a resurgence in the Big Ten.

A key piece of Myles’ recruitment? Joel Justus, a former Kentucky assistant now on staff at Ohio State. Justus, who played a critical role in recruiting elite guards in Lexington, saw something in Myles that mirrors his famous brother’s development arc  overlooked, underappreciated, but highly skilled and driven.

Myles becomes the fifth addition to Ohio State’s 2025-26 recruiting class, which now features 14 total players. It’s clear Diebler and his staff see the youngest Herro not just as a name  but as a real asset to the program’s future.

And while comparisons to Tyler are inevitable, Myles is focused on forging his own identity in Columbus.

From Whitnall to the Big Ten, another Herro is on the rise. Keep an eye on Myles  he might just be the next breakout name in a basketball family that keeps on giving.
