Georgia State Basketball is riding high on a seven game winning streak and received some more good news this weekend as Memphis guard Ryan Boyce is set to transfer to GSU. He will enroll in January and be eligible to play for the 2020-21 season after the first semester concludes.

Boyce is a 6'6, 185lbs guard who was a 247Sports Composite three star prospect and listed as the 6th best prospect in the state of Tennessee. He was a member of the East High (TN) squad that won the 3A state title after being initially ruled ineligible to play for his Senior season along with teammate and 247Sports Composite five star center James Wiseman by the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association after playing for Penny Hardaway's AAU team Team Penny.

He is expected to join the program in a few weeks and begin practicing with the Panthers. Boyce joins fellow transfers Jojo Toppin from Georgia and Eliel Nsoseme from Cincinnati who can practice but will not play this season for GSU.

Head coach Rob Lanier on the addition of Boyce to the program:

"Ryan joining us is a great development for our program. He is a tremendous young talent who checks all of our boxes as student-athlete and as a person. Ryan has such a bright future and we are delighted to have the opportunity to start working with him in the days and weeks ahead."

Georgia State under first year head coach Rob Lanier are off to a 7-3 start and are currently 2-0 in Sun Belt Conference play.
