SF A.J. Taylor to Transfer from NC State

Redshirt Junior Small Forward A.J. Taylor has decided to transfer from NC State.

Taylor committed to run with the Wolfpack on May 3rd after spending his Freshman season at Southwest Mississippi Community College. As a Freshman at Southwest, Taylor started 12 of the 17 games he played in, averaging 9 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. He shot 48% from the field, and 37% from three.

He was the #28 JUCO player nationally when he committed to NC State.

Last season in Raleigh, Taylor only saw action in the season-opener against Georgia Tech, and then missed the remainder of the season with a knee injury.

NC State now has an open scholarship in the 2021 class that already ranks 22nd nationally.
