Syracuse All-Atlantic Coast Conference third-team center Jesse Edwards, who averaged a double-double in the 2022-23 season, announced Tuesday that he's entering the transfer portal for his final year of eligibility.
Edwards made the announcement on social media.
"4 years ago, I got the amazing opportunity to play basketball in this cold snowy place called Syracuse that I only knew from sports highlights," Edwards, a native of the Netherlands, began his post on Instagram. "... I have decided that it is time for me to take on a new challenge and enter the transfer portal to explore my opportunities for my grad year."
The 6-foot-11 Edwards averaged career highs in points (14.5) and rebounds (10.3) in 32 starts in the 2022-23 season. He finished sixth in the country with 2.72 blocks per game.
He has averages of 8.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 95 career games (56 starts) for the Orange.
He is the fourth Syracuse player to enter the transfer portal, following leading scorer Joe Girard III, John Bol Ajak and Symir Torrence.
