Minnesota Men’s Basketball: Dawson Garcia is transferring to Minnesota

The Gopher program has landed a huge transfer.

Dawson Garcia is a former 4-star recruit who played his high school basketball in Prior Lake. He chose to attend Marquette for his freshman season. Following his freshman season, Marquette fired Steve Wojciechowski and Garcia transferred to North Carolina.

He played in only 16 games, starting 12 and then after a January 22nd game at Wake Forest he left the team. Officially he left to come back to Minnesota for family medical issues.

As of April 13, he officially entered the transfer portal and today he announced that he is going to play for the Gophers.
