Michigan State will have another high-scoring guard in the fold when it kicks off the 2015-16 season.

Eron Harris, an Indianapolis native, announced Monday morning that he will transfer to Michigan State from West Virginia.

Harris will have to sit out the 2014-15 season, per NCAA rules, then will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.

The announcement was expected after Harris canceled a weekend visit to Michigan a week after visiting Michigan State the previous weekend. The Spartans and Wolverines were two of the schools Harris was considering, along with Purdue.

Harris (6-foot-3 195 pounds) averaged 17.2 points per game in 33 games for the Mountaineers last season.

He is the first transfer to Michigan State since Brandon Wood from Valparaiso in 2011.

The Spartans have also reportedly shown interest in Bryn Forbes, a Lansing native who played the last two seasons at Cleveland State.
