USC’s Jordan Usher transfers to Georgia Tech

USC guard Jordan Usher has transferred to Georgia Tech. A Wheeler High grad who was a four-star prospect coming out of high school, Usher was to enroll for the spring semester Tuesday.

Usher takes the final available scholarship for the 2018-19 team. He will be eligible to play following the end of the 2019 fall semester and be able to play the remainder of the 2019-20 season and the entire 2020-21 season.

Usher, who is 6-foot-7 and 230 pounds, averaged 8.6 points and 3.7 rebounds in 24.2 minutes per game. He is said to be a high-motor player who, starting next season, would give the Jackets more depth at the wing position. He showed scoring pop this season with the Trojans, twice scoring 22 points.
