Iowa State transfer Xavier Foster has committed to SMU, he tells On3.

The 7-foot center visited the Mustangs over the weekend and decided to make the pledge on Sunday, his birthday.

In 2020-21, Foster played in seven games for the Cyclones before a season-ending right foot surgery on Jan. 11 for an injury sustained in high school. The big man averaged four points and 1.7 rebounds in 7.8 minutes per game that year. He did not play in 2021-22 as he was dismissed from the team in October 2021, entering the transfer portal after that decision.
