Gonzaga lands commitment from transfer Tyon Grant-Foster

Grand Canyon transfer guard Tyon Grant-Foster has committed to Gonzaga, a source told On3.

The 6-foot-7, 220-pound senior originally from Kansas City, Kansas is still awaiting a waiver from the NCAA for an additional year of eligibility.

Foster began his career at Indian Hills junior college in 2018, spending two years with the program before transferring to Kansas. He played sparingly for the Jayhawks during the 2020-21 season, averaging just 8.1 minutes and scoring just 3.1 points a game.

He then entered the transfer portal and landed at DePaul. In his first game with the Blue Demons, Foster collapsed due to cardiac arrest. He underwent multiple heart surgeries and didn’t play for nearly two years.

Once medically cleared, Foster transferred to Grand Canyon and had a breakout season (2023-24), averaging 20.1 points per game and winning WAC Player of the Year. This past season in 2024-25, Foster’s numbers dropped slightly but still had a productive year, averaging 14.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.

Foster is the third transfer set to be joining Gonzaga this season, following former Arizona State guard Adam Miller and former Virginia guard Jalen Warley. Two freshman are also headed to Spokane next season — four-star SG Davis Fogle (No. 37 NATL) and three-star C Parker Jefferson (No. 141 NATL).

Gonzaga made their 26th consective NCAA tournament appearance this season. They fell in the second round to Houston, who made the national title games. The Zags finished with an overall record of 26-9.
