UCF transfer Khyala Ngodu commits to West Virginia
West Virginia women’s basketball added its third player out of the transfer portal on Saturday, as former UCF center Khyala Ngodu announced her commitment to the Mountaineers on social media.
Ngodu (6’3″) joins Pitt transfer Divine Tshibuabua and George Mason’s Zahirah “ZaZa” Walton in coach Mark Kellogg’s transfer class this offseason.
A three-year player with the Knights, Ngodu has career averages of 7.9 points and 6.2 rebounds across 84 games. She’s started 56 games in her career, including 24 of 27 contests last season.
Her best season came as a junior, setting career highs this year in scoring (10.8 points per game), rebounding (7.0 per game), blocks (1.3 per game) and steals (1.5 per game). She was named All-Big 12 honorable mention following the season and finished in the top 10 in the conference in rebounds, defensive rebounds and blocks.
Against the Mountaineers this season, Ngodu scored 21 points to go with nine rebounds in a 74-62 WVU victory.
