NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Forward Matthew Moyer has transferred to Vanderbilt after spending the first two years of his college career at Syracuse.

Vanderbilt announced the transfer Friday.

The 6-foot-8 forward from Gahanna, Ohio, will sit out this season as a transfer and be eligible for 2019-20. Moyer redshirted with an injury in 2016-17 and started 20 of his 35 games this season averaging 3.2 point and 3.4 rebounds a game. He had a career-high 18 points against Connecticut.

Coach Bryce Drew says Moyer fits Vanderbilt well as a talented wing player.

Moyer says he's excited to get to campus, especially with the freshman class Drew has coming in. Moyer says he sees the opportunity to do something special with the Commodores.
