McNeese St. Guard Quadir Copeland is Transferring to NC State!

NC State Head Coach Will Wade has picked up his 2nd commitment out of the Transfer Portal, and it’s another player following him from McNeese St. On Wednesday, Cowboys Guard Alyn Breed committed to run with the Wolfpack, and his teammate, Quadir Copeland (6’6″/200), also joined him today.

This season, Copeland, a tall point guard, was another player with whom Wade found success. Copeland averaged 9.2 points, 4.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.4 steals in his one year with the Cowboys. His 147 assists were the ninth-most in McNeese St. history for a single season. Copeland earned All-Southland Conference 2nd Team honors and a spot on the All-Southland Tournament Team.

Prior to heading to Lake Charles, Copeland played his first two seasons at Syracuse. Even though he never carved out a starting role, he was a significant contributor off the bench in his second year, averaging 9.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.5 steals.

Currently, Copeland is ranked as the #167 overall prospect in the Transfer Portal according to ON3, and the #40 point guard.

Copeland has one year of eligibility remaining.
