Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Transfers to Marquette

Former University of Maryland guard Darryl Morsell announced Monday that he is transferring to Marquette. He made the announcement on his Twitter account.

“When I went into the transfer portal, immediately Coach Smart reached out to me,” Morsell told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Marquette reporter Ben Steele. “”I just know his track record as a coach. He’s my type of coach; he values defense and playing hard. He’s a win-first-mindset coach.”

The 6-foot-5 guard will be a graduate student at MU, using his extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA to all athletes due to COVID-19.
