The Kansas State men’s basketball team has landed a veteran guard out of the transfer portal.
Jaden Schutt, a 6-foot-5 and 200-pound junior who has played in 78 college games, has committed to play for Casey Alexander and the Wildcats next season.
Schutt spent the past two seasons at Virginia Tech, where he averaged 7.7 points per game during his time with the Hokies. Before that, he averaged 2.1 points per game as a freshman at Duke.
Last season, Schutt was a productive reserve for Virginia Tech. He was a double-digit scorer in 13 games. His season high for points came against George Mason when he scored 18. Schutt made 38.5% of his shots from 3-point range while averaging 24.7 minutes per game.
He started 31 games for the Hokies and appeared in 14 games for the Blue Devils.
His experience and playing style should make him a good fit for Alexander’s run-and-gun offense, which relies heavily on outside shooting.
Schutt is originally from Yorkville, Illinois. He was a four-star recruit coming out of high school and held scholarship offers from Illinois, Iowa, Florida and Michigan State before he signed with Duke.
K-State locked up his services as a transfer after he made a recruiting visit to Manhattan over the weekend. He has one year of college eligibility remaining.
He is the fourth incoming transfer of this recruiting cycle for K-State.
