WVU basketball transfer addition Treysen Eaglestaff will withdraw his name from the NBA Draft, Jeff Goodman of Field of 68 reported Tuesday.

Eaglestaff, who transferred to WVU from North Dakota this offseason, entered the NBA Draft as an early entrant last month but now withdraws to maintain his final season of college eligibility.

Treysen Eaglestaff was one of two WVU players to file for the NBA Draft as an early entrant, along with Brenen Lorient, who transferred from North Texas this spring. Lorient, and all other early entrants, have until May 28 to withdraw from the draft and maintain their college eligibility.

Eaglestaff is the jewel of WVU coach Ross Hodge’s transfer class this offseason. The 6-foot-6, 190-pound guard averaged 18.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists last year for North Dakota and was considered one of the top 100 players in the transfer portal. In fact, he scored over 1,300 total points and made 221 three-pointers throughout his three-year career at North Dakota.

The NBA Draft will begin on June 25 at 8 p.m. Former Mountaineer Javon Small will be waiting to hear his name called as he is a possible second-round selection.

In addition to Eaglestaff and Lorient, WVU basketball has also brought inย Honor Huff,ย Chance Moore,ย Harlan Obioha,ย Jasper Floydย andย Jackson Fieldsย from the transfer portal this spring.

For a related story, Javon Small earns praise for pro day performance at NBA Combine.
