RUSTON – Louisiana Tech Men's Basketball head coach
Talvin Hester announced Tuesday the signing of Jermaurhiyun Anderson, a transfer from East Mississippi Community College.
Â
Anderson, a 6-foot-4, 180-pound guard from Greenville, South Carolina, averaged a team-high 15.1 points for the Lions this past season as a freshman, earning All-MACCC Honorable Mention honors.
Â
"As a staff, one of the main focuses for next year's roster was to get more size at our guard positions and Jermaurhiyun does that," said Hester. "He is a three-level scorer that has the ability to use his height and athleticism to attack defenders. We also believe he can defend multiple positions effectively."
Â
Anderson scored in double figures in 22 games including five 20+ scoring performances. He had two season-high 25-point efforts versus Holmes and Reid State while also registering a double-double at Shelton State with 13 points and 12 boards.
Â
He was an all-around player for EMCC, averaging 4.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.9 steals per game as a first-year collegiate.Â
