Grayes never made much impact in his two seasons in Columbus, catching one pass for 2 yards while redshirting as a freshman and not playing at all in 2023 as he was sidelined with an injury that forced him into a walking boot.
A four-star prospect in the class of 2022, Grayes was the No. 88 overall prospect and No. 14 wide receiver in the 247Sports composite rankings. One of four Ohio State wide receiver commits in that class, Grayes' departure leaves just one remaining – Kojo Antwi – after Kaleb Brown (Iowa) and Caleb Burton (Auburn) both transferred out last summer.
There wasn't a clear path to playing time for Grayes in 2024 either, with Emeka Egbuka, Carnell Tate, Brandon Inniss, Jeremiah Smith, Jayden Ballard and Bryson Rodgers appearing ahead of him on the depth chart.
Grayes will arrive at Cal with three years of eligibility remaining as a redshirt sophomore.
