St. John’s guard Elijuan Wright entered the transfer portal on Tuesday morning, two sources with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media.

The school announced the decision on Wednesday through a press release.

“We thank Eli for his efforts at St. John’s and wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors,” head coach Mike Anderson said in the release.

“St. John’s is a great place and it has been an honor to be part of this basketball program over the past year,” Wright added, via the release.

Wright has two more years of collegiate eligibility remaining after redshirting the 2018-19 season with the Johnnies. He is headed to his third school in four seasons.

Wright joined St. John’s after two years at Mississippi State, where he committed out of Apollo High School in Owensboro, Kentucky. A former consensus four-star prospect, Wright redshirted during the 2018-19 season after transferring to the Johnnies from the Bulldogs.

He committed to St. John’s under former head coach Chris Mullin, who stepped down from his post in April after four seasons in Queens. Anderson replaced him 10 days later.

The 6-foot-4 guard has yet to play a game for the Johnnies. Wright played 64 games in two seasons in Starksville. He averaged 3.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 13.8 minutes per game in 34 contests during his sophomore season at Mississippi State.

The move came less than a week after guard Rasheed Dunn verbally committed to transfer to St. John’s from Cleveland State.

The program has one open scholarship ahead of the 2019-20 season, the first under Anderson.

Here is St. John’s roster depth in the event Wright transfers:

Seniors: Mustapha Heron (guard), Nick Rutherford (guard)

Juniors: Rasheem Dunn (guard), LJ Figueroa (guard/forward), Damien Sears (forward), Eli Wright (guard)

Sophomores: David Caraher (guard/forward), Marcellus Earlington (guard/forward), Josh Roberts (forward), Ian Steere (forward), Greg Williams Jr. (guard).

Freshman: Julian Champagnie (forward), Johnathan McGriff (guard)
