Washington transfer commits to Frank Martin’s Gamecocks
The South Carolina men’s basketball team added its third transfer commitment of the offseason.
University of Washington guard Erik Stevenson announced a decision via social media Sunday to join Frank Martin’s roster. He was the Huskies’ fourth-leading scorer in the 2020-21 season at 9.3 points per game. He started 23 games this season and shot 29.8% from 3-point range as a junior.
Stevenson picked the Gamecocks over Butler and BYU.
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound guard is from Lacey, Washington. South Carolina will be the third college of his career. He originally signed with Wichita State as a three-star prospect out of high school before transferring to Washington.
Stevenson was Wichita State’s second leading scorer in 2019-20 season, averaging 11.1 points a game.
At Timberline High School, Stevenson set school records for points in a game (45), season (717) and career (1,861). As a senior, he averaged 24.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.9 steals.
Stevenson joins former George Mason forward A.J. Wilson and former Murray State guard Chico Carter Jr. in announcing plans to transfer to the USC Gamecocks.
The South Carolina basketball team has been in flux in recent weeks, with four players entering their names in the transfer portal and three players entering the NBA draft process. Across the country, more than 1,200 Division I players have entered their names into the transfer portal, according to VerbalCommits.com.
