The Wofford transfer has played in 120 career games
CHARLESTON, S.C. – CofC Basketball inked veteran guard Ryan Larson, head coach Pat Kelsey announced on Monday. Larson is a graduate transfer combo guard from Wofford who comes to 'Our City' with 120 career games under his belt.
Â
The St. Paul, Minnesota, native averaged 8.8 points per game and shot 42 percent from the field, 81.6 percent from the foul line and 39 percent from 3-point range as a senior for the Terriers last season. The sharpshooter hit a career-high 61 triples and finished the 2021-22 campaign with 283 points, starting all 32 contests.
Â
"Ryan will bring a savvy veteran presence to Our City," Kelsey said. "He's a proven winner and brings it every night on both ends with a team-first mentality and leaves it all on the floor. Ryan personifies our culture in everything he does on and off the court and will be a special part of the program."
Â
Larson, a 6-foot-1 guard, dished a team-high 3.6 assists as a senior at Wofford and has 321 dimes in his career. His career assist-to-turnover ratio is +1.8, paced by a jaw-dropping 2.1 ratio last season, which ranked third in the Southern Conference. Larson has also averaged 1.1 steals and 2.7 boards over his four-year career.
Â
Entering his fifth season, Larson has posted four consecutive campaigns shooting 39.6 percent from the field or better. He scored at least seven points in 23 of 32 games a season ago and in double figures 13 times, including 19 points on five threes vs. Georgia Southern.
Â
Larson played a key role during Wofford's 2019 SoCon Championship run and NCAA Tournament berth. In his four-year career, he helped steer the Terriers to an 83-43 record, making 80 starts in that span.
Â
Larson is a two-time SoCon Honor Roll honoree and was named to the 2020-21 Academic All-SoCon Team. He is on track to earn his bachelor's degree in Business Economics this spring. Larson attended Cretin-Derham Hall High School, where he played his junior and senior seasons and won a 4A State Championship as a senior.
