Old Dominion grad transfer Trey Porter has committed to Nevada.
The former ODU big man averaged 13.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game this past season, starting 31 of his 32 appearances. The grad transfer figures to play a focal role in Nevada’s upcoming season.
The Woodbridge, Virginia native began his collegiate career at George Mason where he played a modest role in his freshman season in 2015. Porter transferred to Old Dominion and sat out the 2016 season due to NCAA eligibility rules. With ODU, the 6-10, 230-pound forward started 39 games over two seasons and averaged 9.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game while converting 55.5 percent of his shot attempts.
With big men Elijah Foster and Darien Williams no longer with the program, Porter should have an immediate impact with the Wolf Pack. Jordan Caroline, who averaged 17.7 points per game and started 36 times a season ago, is currently pondering his decision to leave for the NBA.
