Former South Carolina Guard Morris Ugusuk Transfers to West Virginia

Former South Carolina Gamecocks guard Morris Ugusuk has officially committed to the West Virginia Mountaineers, according to a Sunday announcement from his agent, Teddy Archer of TAA Sports.

Ugusuk spent two seasons with the Gamecocks, contributing as a steady presence in the rotation. During his time in Columbia, he appeared in 62 games and made six starts, averaging just over 16 minutes per contest. While not a primary scorer, Ugusuk brought energy, defense, and ball-handling to the floor whenever called upon.

A native of Helsinki, Finland, Ugusuk was part of a competitive South Carolina squad that made notable strides in recent years. His decision to transfer to West Virginia gives him an opportunity for a fresh start and potentially a larger role in the Mountaineers’ backcourt rotation. His experience in the SEC, along with his solid work ethic and team-first mentality, could make him a valuable asset as West Virginia looks to rebuild and compete in the Big 12.

Ugusuk’s move comes amid a wave of transfer activity across college basketball, as players seek programs that better align with their playing styles and development goals. With two years of collegiate experience under his belt, he brings maturity and versatility to his new team.

West Virginia fans can expect a guard who thrives in transition, defends with intensity, and brings international experience to the lineup. Ugusuk’s commitment marks another addition to a Mountaineers roster aiming to regroup and compete at a high level in the upcoming season.
