Former NC State Guard Bryce Heard is Transferring to Dayton

Former NC State Guard Bryce Heard (6’5″/1170) is transferring to Dayton.

Heard was a late addition to the Wolfpack’s 2024 recruiting class last summer, deciding to graduate early and reclassify. He committed to NC State on July 24th and was rated as a 4-star prospect by ESPN and Rivals, with the latter ranking him as the #93 overall player in the 2024 recruiting class. Heard was part of a three-man recruiting class that included guards Trey Parker and Paul McNeil.

As a true freshman this season, Heard saw action in 24 games, averaging 1.2 points in 6.3 minutes per game while shooting 31.8% from the field. His best game of the season was in the opener, logging eight points and five rebounds in 16 minutes against USC Upstate.

Heard has three years of eligibility remaining.

Ten Wolfpack players elected to enter the Transfer Portal after the conclusion of the season: Forwards Ben Middlebrooks , Brandon Huntley-Hatfield and Ismael Diouf, Guards Dontrez Styles, Breon Pass, Trey Parker, Mike James, Dennis Parker Jr., Marcus Hill and Bryce Heard.

Five of the Ten have found new schools: Marcus Hill (Texas A&M), Dennis Parker Jr. (Radford), Mike James (Vanderbilt), Ismael Diouf (Northern Iowa) and Bryce Heard (Dayton)
