Miami transfer guard Divine Ugochukwu has committed to Michigan State, he told On3.

Ugochukwu, a 6-foot-3 freshman combo guard, took an official visit to East Lansing earlier this week and returned home committed to the Spartans.

He averaged 5.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game for the Hurricanes this season.

Ugochukwu has most recently been recruited by schools like Texas Tech and USC.

The native of Sugar Land, Texas becomes Michigan State’s third transfer portal commitment this offseason, joining former Samford guard Trey Fort (14.6 PPG) and former Florida Atlantic forward Kaleb Glenn (12.6 PPG, 4.8 RPG).

Michigan State is also set to bring in a pair of four-star freshmen small forwards — Cam Ward (No. 51 ranked nationally) and Jordan Scott (No. 52 nationally).

Michigan State won the Big Ten regular season and made it to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament this season. The Spartans finished with an overall record of 30-7.
