TAMPA, Fla., (Apr. 1, 2023) – Former Kennesaw State junior Brandon Stroud has committed to transfer to South Florida. He made the announcement via his Twitter account.

Stroud, the 2023 ASUN Defensive Player of the Year, reunites with teammates Chris Youngblood and Kasen Jennings who both committed to the Bulls earlier Saturday, plus head coach Amir Abdur-Rahim, who was named USF head coach after four seasons at KSU.

The 6-foot-6, 200-pound Stroud was the only ASUN player to rank in the top 10 for both rebounding (6.5 RPG; 7th) and steals (1.5 SPG; 6th). He led the Owls in rebounding in a team-high 13 games and reached double figures in rebounds in six games, including three times against conference opponents. The Atlanta native recorded nine multi-steal games on the season, with him posting a career-high (5) in a road victory at Bellarmine. He helped KSU finish the regular season ranked first in the ASUN for steals per game with an average of 8.3 per outing.

Stroud was also one of the top scorers on his team, ranking fourth with nine points per game, and twice earned ASUN Player of the Week honors during the season.

He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
