Ohio wide receiver Justin Wyatt will transfer from Ohio after the completion of the fall semester. 

The redshirt freshman wide out sent a Twitter direct message to the Bobcat Sports Showcase stating his intention to transfer. According to Wyatt, the Bobcats' offensive style was no longer fit for his skill set.

"I'm going to a school where I can be [utilized] in space to the best of [my] abilities," Wyatt said.

The 6-foot-1, 190 poound athlete will transfer to Golden West College, in Huntington Beach, Calif. The football team runs an up-tempo offense that averaged 452 yards and 38.4 points per game in the California Community College Athletic Association in 2014.

His 2013 redshirt season was cut short after he suffered a season-ending injury in the preseason. 

ESPN rated Wyatt as a three-star recruit before he arrived at Ohio as a part of the 2013 recruiting class. The Lawrenceville, Ga., native caught 132 passes for 1,848 yards and 17 touchdowns in his time at Collins Hill High School.
