West Virginia Mountaineers' basketball program recently secured a commitment from transfer Jasper Floyd, a former North Texas guard. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 195 pounds, Floyd posted solid stats during his one season with the Mean Green, averaging 9.0 points, 3.9 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game with shooting percentages of 42% from the field and 34% from three-point range. His performance notably peaked during the NIT, where he averaged 15.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.7 assists in the final four games.
Floyd, who previously played at Fairfield, Hillsborough College, and Northwest Florida State, brings a versatile skill set to West Virginia. Adept at attacking the rim, he showcases strength in finishing through contact and demonstrates proficiency in mid-range and three-point shooting. His familiarity with Coach Ross Hodge's system and defensive expectations align well with the Mountaineers' needs for backcourt support, making him a valuable addition to the team alongside other recent recruits like Brenen Lorient, Harlan Obioha, Honor Huff, Jackson Fields, and Deandre Thomas.
