Radford University will have at least two new faces for the 2024 basketball season, thanks to the transfer portal.
Head coach Darris Nichols has announced the addition of guard Jarvis Moss, formerly of Davidson and Stanford universities.
He is a 6’4″, 200-pound guard hailing from Concord, N.C. and will join the Highlanders for the 2024-25 season following his last stint at Davidson College.
“We are thrilled to add Jarvis Moss to our Highlander family,” said Nichols. “Jarvis is a high character, hardworking individual who loves the game of basketball. He has a combination of shooting, playmaking, and athleticism at the guard position that will immediately impact our program.”
Prior to Davidson, Moss was a member of Stanford’s men’s basketball team. There, he shot 42.9 percent from three-point range and scored a career-best 10 points vs. Green Bay. Additionally in that game, he collected 10 rebounds.
During his high school career at Cannon School (N.C.), Moss won back-to-back state championships and broke the program record for 3-pointers made in a season and career.
When he arrives on campus, he’ll be joined by fellow transfer Jonas Sirtautas, who will join the Highlanders for the 2024-25 season after redshirting last season at Wyoming still holding four years of eligibility.
“Jonas is a versatile wing with tremendous athleticism,” said Nichols. “His ability to play inside and out is exciting for our program. He comes from a great program in Lithuania where Zalgiris has done a great job developing talent.”
Sirtautas, a native of Kaunas, Lithuania, stands at 6’10”, 185 pounds and gives the Highlanders another athletic forward that can get the job done on both ends of the floor.
He spent time playing with the youth club under Zalgiris in Kaunas. He was also picked to be a part of the NBA Academy last summer in the United States.
His father, Darius, played professionally in Lithuania from 1989 until 2005 when he announced his retirement. Additionally, his sister played basketball at Providence during the 2023-24 season.
