Morsell, the reigning Big Ten Conference Defensive Player of the Year, announced in April his intention to enter the NBA draft and also entered the transfer portal. Now, he will now use his fifth year of eligibility elsewhere.
The NCAA extended an extra year of eligibility to winter sports athletes as a response to the coronavirus pandemic. Morsell reunites with former Terps assistant DeAndre Haynes, who left after two seasons to join new coach Shaka Smart’s staff.
A Baltimore native and Mount Saint Joseph graduate, Morsell played in 126 games and started 108 at Maryland.
