A.J. Hoggard Transfers to Vanderbilt for Final College Basketball Season

The former Michigan State guard joins first-year coach Mark Byington's team, boosting Vanderbilt's roster with his experience and leadership.

Hoggard averaged 10.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game last season at Michigan State.
He chose Vanderbilt over offers from USC, Washington, Georgia, and Florida.
The transfer class includes notable players from North Texas, Virginia Tech, Cornell, Davidson, and Clemson.
Hoggard's move reunites him with Tom Izzo's nephew, Matt Bucklin, who is an assistant coach at Vanderbilt.
First-year coach Mark Byington aims to lead Vanderbilt to its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2016-17.
