Nevada landed a commitment from an impact Missouri Valley Conference freshman last season as forward Jordan Caroline will transfer from Southern Illinois.

The 6-foot-7 Caroline announced his transfer on Twitter.

As a freshman, Caroline was a very productive player in the Valley, averaging 25 minutes per game while averaging 9.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. Caroline also shot 44 percent from the field, and got to the free-throw line 153 times, making 66 percent of them.

After sitting out the 2015-16 season due to NCAA transfer restrictions, Caroline will have three seasons of eligibility remaining. He is a solid addition for new head coach Eric Musselman and gives the Wolfpack a likely rotation player and potential starter once he is done sitting out next season.
