Marcus Adams Jr. announces commitment to Arizona State out of NCAA transfer portal

Marcus Adams Jr. announced his commitment to Arizona State out of the NCAA transfer portal. He’s spent time with BYU and Cal State University-Northridge in his career.

Adams played 32 games last season for Cal State after transferring from BYU. He averaged 16.1 points per game, 4.9 rebounds per game, 1.5 assists per game, shot 52.6% from the floor and 39.5% from three-point range.

As a member of the Class of 2023, Adams was a four-star recruit out of Harbor City (Calif.) Nathaniel Narbonne, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 12 overall prospect in the state, the No. 14 small forward in the class and the No. 65 overall prospect in the class.

Marcus Adams Jr. commits to Arizona State

Adams is coming on in to the Sun Devils program, which is a nice counter to losing guard Joson Sanon to St. John’s. He committed earlier this week.

The 6’5 scorer signed with Arizona State as part of its vaunted 2024 recruiting class, choosing Bobby Hurley and Co. over Indiana, Arizona, Providence and others after he reclassified up a year from 2025. In his lone season in Tempe, Sanon was one of the team’s few bright spots, averaging 11.9 points and 3.4 rebounds while playing just over 28 minutes per game.

He, along with former five-star forward Jayden Quaintance, looked to be the program’s building blocks of the future. But after another sub-.500 season under Hurley, Sanon is on the move.
