ETSU's Williamson moves to Wake Forest, reunites with coach

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Wake Forest has added East Tennessee State transfer Daivien Williamson to the men’s basketball roster, rejoining new Demon Deacons coach Steve Forbes.

The school announced Williamson’s addition Thursday. He would have to sit out one year as a transfer unless he receives a waiver from the NCAA and has two years of eligibility remaining.

Williamson played two seasons under Forbes, who left ETSU in April to replace fired coach Danny Manning. It also marks a homecoming for the 6-foot-2 guard, who played in high school in Winston-Salem and was an Associated Press prep all-state pick for North Carolina in 2018.

Williamson started every game last year, averaging 10.4 points, 2.6 assists and 2.0 rebounds to help ETSU win 30 games while sweeping the Southern Conference regular-season and tournament titles.
