AMES — Izaiah Brockington has transferred from Penn State to Iowa State and will have two years of eligibility remaining, Cyclone men’s basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger announced Thursday.

Brockington spent the last three seasons at Penn State after playing his freshman year at St. Bonaventure. The 6-foot-4 guard from Philadelphia started 24 of 25 games last season and was the Nittany Lions’ second-leading scorer with 12.6 points per game. He also shot a team-best 84.1 percent on free throws and averaged 4.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists.

“Izaiah is a downhill, playmaking guard who will thrive in the pick-n-roll,” Otzelberger said. “He’s got the ability to make plays at the rim and set up teammates. Izaiah is an elite rebounder from the guard position and will impact us with his leadership and toughness.”

Brockington reached double figures 18 times in last season’s shortened schedule, which included a season-high 24 points against Virginia Tech.

Brockington provides the Cyclones with experience at the collegiate level, having played in 90 career games in his three seasons. He’s averaged 7.9 points in his career, improving his scoring average by nearly four points each season.

He was an all-state player in high school at Philadelphia’s Archbishop Ryan where he finished his career as the school’s third 1,000-point scorer. He led the team to the PIAA Class 6A semifinals during his senior season.
