AMES — Iowa State men’s basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger has announced the addition of a fourth transfer to the 2024-25 Iowa State roster. St. Mary’s transfer Joshua Jefferson will join the Cyclones this summer.

Jefferson joins a transfer class that already includes transferes Brandton Chatfield from Seattle, Nate Heise of Northern Iowa and Dishon Jackson of Charlotte.

A 6-foot-8 forward out of Las Vegas, Jefferson played for the Gaels the last two seasons. Jefferson comes to Iowa State with two seasons of eligibility remaining.

He started 26 games for St. Mary’s last season before suffering a season-ending injury. He averaged 10.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 25 minutes per game. He earned all-West Coast Conference honorable mention honors.

“Joshua is a high IQ basketball player that impacts winning in a variety of ways,” Otzelberger said. “He’s a gifted offensive player that can score at all three levels. He possesses terrific defensive instincts that will help us generate turnovers and end possessions with a rebound.”

Jefferson scored in double figures in 13 of his 26 games.
