Brenen Lorient averaged 11.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game as a junior this season. He was voted first-team All-AAC and was the American Athletic Conference Sixth Man of the Year.

He came off the bench in all 36 games during his lone season with the Mean Greene. He spent the first two years of his career playing a minor role at Florida Atlantic. The Florida native shot 57.1% from the floor and averaged better than a block per game at UNT.

His best performance of the year was a 20-point, eight-rebound outing against Temple in January, setting season highs in both categories.

Lorient is the second member of WVU’s transfer class, joining UNC Wilmington’s Harlan Obioha, who committed earlier this week.
