USC adds Wake Forest transfer

The University of Southern California added another transfer to its men's basketball team, the school announced.

Ari Stewart, a 6-fot-7, 205-pound wing, joins the Trojans from Wake Forest. Stewart averaged 8.5 points and 4.4 rebounds per game last season for the Demon Deacons. An outside shooting threat, he led all Atlantic Coast Conference freshmen in three-point shooting percentage in his first season on the Winston-Salem campus.

Per NCAA transfer rules, Stewart must sit out one year of eligibility. Because he has yet to use a redshirt season, he will take the 2011-2012 season as a redshirt year and have two years of eligibility remaining beginning in 2012-2013.

Stewart becomes the fourth transfer in the past two years to join USC.
