NC State has landed 6’9 reigning Big South MVP, DJ Burns, from Winthrop.
Burns, a former 4-star recruit, left high school a year early to join Tennessee. However, he was redshirted there with a weight issue and decided to transfer the following season. During that transfer process, Burns visited NC State but eventually chose Winthrop.
Burns transformed his body and went on to become a star big man for the Eagles. After two seasons of averaging over 10 points per game, he turned it up a notch last season, pouring in 15ppg and shooting 62.
