TOLEDO, Ohio – Men's basketball head coach Tod Kowalczyk announced Tuesday that Boise State sophomore guard RayJ Dennis will transfer to the University of Toledo to join the Rockets' program next season.

"We're extremely excited to have RayJ join our family," Kowalczyk said.  "We recruited RayJ extremely hard three years ago and when he went into the transfer portal, he quickly became our No. 1 priority. He can impact our program immediately in a lot of ways. He plays with toughness on the defensive end, he has proven he can run a winning basketball team and he can score at a high level."

A 6-2, 180-pound guard, Dennis started 25 of 28 contests and averaged 8.6 ppg, 3.0 rpg, a team-best 2.9 apg and 1.2 spg in 27.2 mpg this past season for a Boise State squad that posted a 19-9 overall record and a 14-6 Mountain West Conference mark. The Oswego, Ill. native, tied his career high with 19 points at NCAA Tournament participant BYU (Dec. 9) and also led the Broncos with 18 points in their season opener at NCAA Final Four squad Houston (Nov. 27).
 
As a freshman, Dennis started 15 of 32 games and averaged 4.1 ppg, 1.8 rpg and 1.8 apg in 17.5 mpg. He led the Broncos to a historic comeback overtime victory over Utah State (Jan. 18) when he scored all of his career-high 19 points in the final 3:27 with BSU trailing by 18 points.
