Deng arrived in Raleigh this past offseason after transferring from Florida State, but his time on the court this season was limited. He appeared in just eight games before receiving a medical redshirt, giving him two years of eligibility remaining.

His top performance in a Wolfpack uniform came against Texas Southern on December 17, when he scored 14 points and knocked down four three-pointers.

Before arriving at NC State, Deng averaged 7.0 points per game as a sophomore at Florida State, shooting 37% from three-point range. He began his collegiate career at Hampton, where he averaged 10.1 points and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 39.1% from beyond the arc.

Deng becomes the second NC State player from this year’s transfer portal group to find a new home, joining Terrence Arceneaux, who committed to George Washington.
