Ohio State basketball strengthened its 2025 recruiting class with the addition of Myles Herro, a three-star point guard and younger brother of NBA All-Star Tyler Herro. Myles, who plays at Whitnall High School in Milwaukee, is recognized as the No. 40 point guard in the nation and the 10th-best player in Wisconsin for the 2025 class, as per 247Sports.
Myles has also garnered interest from schools such as Cal Poly, Southern Illinois, and Western Illinois. His impressive senior season saw him average 21.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game while maintaining a shooting percentage of 49%. He achieved the milestone of 1,000 career points and was previously honored with first-team all-conference accolades in his junior year, where he posted averages of 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.9 steals per game.
In an interview, Myles described his playing style as that of a pass-first guard who can also create his own scoring opportunities, emphasizing his dual impact on both ends of the court. He competed for Team Herro in the Nike EYBL circuit, under the guidance of his father, Chris Herro, showcasing his talent as one of the league leaders in assists and steals.
At Ohio State, Myles is expected to join an incoming class that includes transfers and notable high school prospect A’Mare Bynum, a top-50 center. This comes after Ohio State experienced a setback with the loss of commitment from top-100 shooting guard Dorian Jones, who announced he will not enroll.
Myles’ connection to basketball runs deep, with his brother Tyler having had significant success in the NBA since being drafted 13th overall by the Miami Heat in 2019. Tyler was recognized as the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year in 2022 and recently earned All-Star honors, consistently contributing to Miami’s deep playoff runs.
The Herro family’s basketball legacy continues to thrive, with another brother, Austin, slated to advance as a redshirt sophomore at South Carolina next season. Myles’ commitment to Ohio State not only reflects his personal aspirations but also adds a promising talent to the Buckeyes’ roster.
