San Diego State standout Miles Byrd has officially announced his commitment to Providence, giving the Friars one of the most impactful transfers in the portal.
The 6’6 wing and Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year brings elite two-way ability to the Big East after a breakout season with the Aztecs. Byrd averaged:
- 10.4 PPG
