[Editor's note: On Monday, April 29, Jordan Ivy-Curry announced he was decommitting from Virginia Tech and reopening his recruitment.]
On Tuesday, UTSA guard Jordan Ivy-Curry committed to Mike Young and Virginia Tech. He received interest from Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky, Ole Miss and TCU in the transfer portal.
A 6-foot-3, 175-pound fifth-year senior with one year of eligibility remaining, he's played in 101 games and 2,330 minutes over four seasons. He spent his freshman and sophomore campaigns with the Roadrunners and earned Conference USA All-Freshman Team honors after averaging 7.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in 2020-21. The following year, his scoring increased to 13.9 points per game.
The La Marque, Texas, native transferred to Pacific for his junior season in 2022-23 and posted 10.3 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. He then returned San Antonio and had the best season of his career: 17.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game while shooting 40 percent from the floor, 39 percent from 3-point range and 80 percent from the free throw line. However, he missed 11 games due to injury.
Ivy-Curry scored at least 20 points in 10 of his appearances last season, highlighted by two 30-point games, and had one double-double on Jan. 2 vs. UAB: 20 points and 10 boards. He posted 38 points in a 10-of-20 performance vs. Florida Atlantic on Jan. 21, in which he was 4-of-8 from behind the arc and 14-of-17 from the foul line with seven rebounds. Nearly six weeks later, he dropped 33 points on 12-of-22 shooting (5-of-9 3FG, 4-of-4 FT) on March 2 at SMU, which earned him AAC Player of the Week honors.
He was not a highly-ranked prospect out of high school despite recording 2,000 career points as a four-year starter. As a senior, he averaged 31.5 points, 6.9 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 4.8 steals per game, which earned him 4A All-State honors.
Ivy-Curry is the first transfer portal commitment of the offseason for Virginia Tech, who saw six players enter the transfer portal in the last week, though forward Mylyjael Poteat announced his return on Saturday. Tuesday's addition gives the Hokies seven scholarship players for the 2024-25 season and leaves them with six open scholarships:
