As UCF basketball continues to shape its roster for next season, the Knights have added another piece with UTSA transfer’s verbal commitment Jordan Ivy-Curry.
The 6-foot-2, 175-pound junior point guard averaged 17.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3 assists and 27 minutes in 21 games with the Road Runners last season. He shot 40% from the floor and 38% from beyond the arc, scoring in double figures in 15 games, highlighted by a 38-point performance against FAU.
He chose UCF over Wake Forest and Auburn.
Ivy-Curry was named to the Conference USA All-Freshman team at UTSA after averaging 7.2 points, 1.5 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 26 games (11 starts). In his sophomore year, he averaged 13.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 21 games (19 starts), but transferred to Pacific University for 2022-23.
At Pacific, Ivy-Curry averaged 10.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 33 games (7 starts). He scored in double figures in 20 games, highlighted by a 25-point performance against San Diego.
He becomes the sixth transfer to commit to the Knights’ program, joining Benny Williams (Syracuse), Keyshawn Hall (George Mason), Mikey Williams (Memphis), JJ Taylor (Memphis) and Rokas Jocius (La Salle). According to 247Sports’ composite rankings, UCF’s class is ranked 42nd in the country.
The Texas native is also the third guard to join a roster that includes guards Darius Johnson (15.2 points per game), Jaylin Sellers (15.9 ppg.), Tyler Hendricks, Nils Machowski and true freshman Cameron Simpson.
