UAB announced the signing of former Northern Illinois guard Quaran McPherson on Monday, adding to a list of offseason signees for head coach Andy Kennedy and company,
McPherson played in 23 games last season for Northern Illinois with 12 starts, averaging 12.1 points and 5 rebounds a game for the Huskies.
He shot 92-for-202 (45.5%) from the field and 32-for-82 (39%) from beyond the arc, scoring a season-high 25 points against East-West University.
“Excited to have Q join our program,” Kennedy said in a release. “He is an experienced, hard nosed guard who plays with determination from the back court. His ability to shoot the 3 coupled with his downhill mentality will add great value to our team next season.”
In the 2023-24 season, he played in 13 games and averaged 4.6 points per game across 157 minutes on the court.
A graduate of Woodstock (Conn.) Academy, he averaged 14.6 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.2 rebounds a game as a senior and signed with Nebraska out of high school.
He did not see any action for the Huskers, redshirting his freshman season and missing the 2022-23 season due to injury.
