Hofstra transfer Jaquan Carlos has committed to Syracuse, he announced on Instagram Wednesday.

The 6-foot guard spent his last three seasons with the Pride before announcing he’d enter the transfer portal on March 25. Carlos has one year of collegiate eligibility remaining.

This past campaign, Carlos averaged 10.4 points, 6.3 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals a game. The Brooklyn, N.Y. native also shot 41.3% from the field, 34.4% from 3 and earned All-Colonial Athletic Association Defensive Team honors. In 2023-24, Carlos started all 33 games for Hofstra and helped lead it to a CAA Tournament semifinal berth.

A nifty passer and capable scorer, Carlos fills SU’s point guard vacancy following Judah Mintz’s departure for the NBA Draft. Carlos becomes head coach Adrian Autry’s third addition from the transfer portal this offseason after forwards Eddie Lampkin Jr. (Colorado) and Jyáre Davis (Delaware) inked commitments this past week.



Per 247Sports, Carlos left high school fielding double-digit offers as a three-star prospect and the sixth overall player in New York. Prior to his commitment to Syracuse, Carlos was the No. 37 ranked transfer point guard and received interest from multiple high-major programs.
