N.C. State adds Arizona State transfer D.J. Horne

Arizona State transfer D.J. Horne has committed to N.C. State.

The 6-foot-1 Raleigh, N.C. native averaged 12.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists with the Sun Devils last season.

“I chose NC State because home is where the heart is,” he told On3.com. “I have always wanted the chance to be able to play in my hometown so when the opportunity presented itself I jumped on it. Coach [Kevin] Keatts and the entire coaching staff welcomed me and I’d like to thank them for taking a chance on a local kid and believing in me! Wolfpack nation, I’m soooo excited to play for you next season. I’m beyond ready to join my new teammates and help make next season one to remember!”

The Wolfpack previously added Butler transfer Jayden Taylor.

N.C. State saw forward Greg Gantt and guard Jack Clark transfer out.
