Angelo State Men’s Basketball Adds Division I Transfer

SAN ANGELO, TX — The Angelo State men's basketball program announced its fourth addition for the incoming 2025-26 season in Jesaiah McWright, a 6-foot-4 guard from NCAA Division I school Tulsa.

McWright, a Houston native, spent three years with the Golden Hurricanes. He averaged 2.8 points in limited action.

"We are thrilled to announce the addition of Jesaiah McWright to our roster for the upcoming season," said Patel. "Jesaiah is a veteran, and his experience is going to help us on the floor and in the locker room."

As a freshman at Tulsa, McWright made six starts and scored a career-high 11 points twice, doing so in back-to-back games against East Carolina and Central Florida.

"He is a very athletic guard who excels on the open floor. He does a tremendous job at finishing at the basket, but can also make the open three," said Patel. "We believe that he can be one of the top perimeter defenders on our team, and his overall game should fit in right away."

McWright, who played at Cypress Falls High School, was the third-best prospect out of Houston, according to RCS Sports. He was the District 16-6A MVP and earned TABC All-State honors.

"Our staff enjoyed building a relationship with Jesaiah and his family during the recruiting process. Jesaiah is a winner and has the ability as a player to make others around him better," said Patel. "His speed and quickness enable him to reach the paint, and he excels at making the correct basketball play. Jesaiah has the work ethic to make his only year with us his best."
