Butler transfer guard Chuck Harris, a 6-2, 200-pound guard, committed to SMU, he announced on Wednesday. Harris has three years to play two seasons of college basketball remaining after entering the transfer portal last month.

According to On3’s Jamie Shaw, Harris is one of the top combo guards available in the transfer portal. SMU was the first team to get Harris on campus, hosting him last month for an official visit.

With 59 career starts over 84 games, he’s notched 965 points. Harris led Butler in scoring his freshman and sophomore season before finishing fourth on the team this year at 10.4 points per game. He moved to a bench role after a concussion suffered on Jan. 28. The Bulldogs didn’t have a leading scorer above 12.9 points per game.
