Reese Dixon-Waters has transferred out of the Pac-12, but maybe not for long. He did not transfer to another state or even to another part of the state of California.
Dixon-Waters is staying in Southern California, but he is traveling south to San Diego. RDW has chosen the San Diego State Aztecs as his transfer destination after entering the portal.
Last season, Reese Dixon-Waters was USC’s third-leading scorer. The sophomore didn’t shoot brilliantly, but he was the Trojans’ most reliable bench player. He held together the lineup whenever Andy Enfield had to look for other options to steal minutes.
The Pac-12’s Sixth Man of the Year averaged 9.8 points per game for the Trojans last season; he will have two years of eligibility remaining at San Diego State.
The 6-foot-5, 210-pound guard was rated a top 50 recruit coming out of St. Bernard High in San Diego. He skipped his senior season to enroll at USC early during the semester break, playing the back half of the 2020-21 season abbreviated by the pandemic. That qualifies him for an extra year of eligibility, meaning he has two years left. Because he is a first-time transfer, he can play immediately.
Dixon-Waters arrived at USC as a four-star prospect. He was ranked No. 77 nationally, No. 11 at shooting guard, and No. 11 in the state of California in the Class of 2020.
It will be fascinating to see if San Diego State is invited into the Pac-12. RDW could return to the conference, but not in time to play USC. The Trojans will be off to the Big Ten before that might potentially happen.
USC transfer Reese Dixon-Waters has committed to San Diego State and Brian Dutcher, first by @PointForwardPro.
Dixon-Waters was the Pac-12 Sixth Man of the Year this season and was an impact player on both ends.
