As a junior in 2019-20, he averaged 19.8 points, 5.4 assists and 4.3 rebounds, earning second-team All-MAC honors.
He also considered Georgetown, Arkansas and Miami.
The Sun Devils are expected to lose senior guards Remy Martin and Alonzo Verge and have lost four scholarship players to the transfer portal in junior forwards Taeshon Cherry and Chris Osten, sophomore guard Jaelen House and freshman forward Pavlo Dziuba.
They have dipped into the transfer
portal to fill those voids with other previous additions including shooting guard Jay Heath (Boston College) and small forward A.J. Bramah (Robert Morris).
The list of high school prospects is headed by five-star center Enoch Boakye out of George Harris Prep in Canada.
