Drew Peterson commits to transfer to USC basketball from Rice

USC basketball’s collection of transfers grew on Monday with the fresh pledge of Rice small forward Drew Peterson.

“After much consideration, I’m proud to announce I’ll be committing to the University of Southern California,” Peterson wrote on Twitter, including two graphics along with his message.

The 6-foot-7, 180-pound forward played for Rice for two seasons, starting 55 times. Last season, he led the Owls in rebounds (6.5) and assists (3.5) per game while averaging 11.1 points. He shot 4.1.1 percent from the field.
