West Virginia added another top transfer target Tuesday as former Georgia Tech big man Mouhamed Sylla committed to the Mountaineers, per multiple reports.

The 6-foot-10 center from Senegal averaged 9.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 16 games (15 starts) in his freshman season with the Yellow Jackets in 2025-26. He shot 57.9% from the field and posted five double-doubles before missing the final 11 games with an ankle injury.

A four-star recruit in the Class of 2025, Sylla was ranked as the No. 26 prospect in the transfer portal by 247 Sports.

West Virginia coach Ross Hodge received a commitment from Butler transfer Finley Bizjack on Monday. The All-Big East guard averaged 17.1 points and shot 34.9% from 3-point range in 31 starts for the Bulldogs in 2025-26.
