Huskers transfer Andrew White III picks Syracuse

Share

One of the leading scorers in the Big Ten is taking his talents to the ACC.

Andrew White III, who opted to transfer away from Nebraska after going through the NBA Draft process, will play for Syracuse during the 2016-17 season. As a graduate transfer, he is immediately eligible.

White informed ESPN of his decision Sunday before tweeting his own picture of him in Orange gear.

White started his college career at Kansas before transferring to Nebraska, where he averaged 16.6 points per game last season, the second-best scorer on the team and the sixth-best scoring average in the Big Ten. White was also the Huskers' leading rebounder last season, averaging 5.9 rebounds a game and ranking in the top 15 in the conference.

Like many others with eligibility remaining, White took advantage of new rules allowing him to go through the NBA Draft process without hiring an agent, giving him the option to return to college with his eligibility intact. After doing so, he decided to leave Nebraska, a decision that upset his coach.

White visited Michigan State after deciding to transfer, setting up the possibility of his transferring within the conference, but he'll go out of conference with his move to Syracuse, a team that reached the Final Four last season.
