San Francisco guard Jason Rivera-Torres enters NCAA transfer portal

San Francisco guard Jason Rivera-Torres has entered the NCAA transfer portal, On3’s Jamie Shaw reports. He began his career playing for the Vanderbilt Commodores.

Off the court, Torres starred in “Swagger”, which is an Apple TV+ series. NBA star Kevin Durant was one of the executive producers of the show. The show spanned two seasons between 2021 and 2023.

This past season for the Dons, Rivera-Torres averaged 2.4 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. He played in 33 games for his squad this past season, but did not log any starts. His team’s season came to an end in the second round of the NIT after a 25-10 finish to the season. The Dons fell to Loyola Chicago 77-76 to round out its season after a third-place finish in the West Coast Conference behind NCAA Tournamwnt teams Saint Mary’s and Gonzaga.

San Francisco head coach Chris Gerlufsen commented on the arrival of Rivera-Torres when he committed to the program last offseason. He was high on the former SEC talent.

 “Jason is a very talented two-way player who can score the ball and defend at a high level,” he said. “His skillset and toughness make him a great addition to our team this upcoming year.”

The Bronx native originally committed to NBA veteran Jerry Stackhouse at Vanderbilt. He would go on to play in 29 games for the Commodores including two starts across 15.4 minutes per game. That season, he averaged 6.4 points and 3.1 rebounds per game while shooting 76 percent from the free throw line. He put on a season-high 20-point performance against Alabama during the season opener.

Before college, Rivera-Torres was a three-star recruit as a part of the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. He was the No. 172 player in his class as well as the No. 34 shooting guard and No. 4 player from his home state of Virginia.

As of Wednesday, March 26, over 1,250 Men’s College Basketball players have entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. That number is expected to grow as the 2024-25 college basketball season nears its end.
