Rutgers has landed another member of the frontcourt prepared to battle for a starting spot.
Manhattan transfer Will Sydnor announced on Monday night that he has committed to Rutgers.
Sydnor attended Manhattan as a member of the 2024 recruiting class. He hails from Brooklyn and attended The Patrick School. Now, the 6-foot-8 forward returns to New Jersey.
Sydnor did not play last season due to eligiblity issues. He was named the MAAC Rookie of the Year in 2024-25 after making 29 starts for Manhattan. He averaged 13.9 points and 6.8 rebounds per game while shooting 45.1% from the floor. Syudnor also shot 34.8% from three-point range. He will come to Rutgers with three years of eligibility remaining.
Rutgers has now added four transfers this offseason. Sydnor joins 6-foot-10 center Christian Gurdak who comes over from Virginia Tech and Central Connecticut State transfer Darin Smith Jr. The first signing this cycle was international transfer guard Lewis Duarte.
