โ€ขYahoo Sports

Christian Harmon is taking his talents from Arkansas State to Virginia after starting 28 games and averaging just under 13 points this past season.

Virginia quietly finished second in the ACC regular-season standings last season, and head coach Ryan Odom hopes to make even more noise in 2026-2027. The program hopes that transfer guard Christian Harmon can help the Cavaliers take the next step. Harmon committed to Virginia on Tuesday, after entering the transfer portal to leave Arkansas State.

โ€œI feel like I fit perfectly,โ€ Harmon said, according to the Daily News-Record . โ€œI come from a similar offense at Arkansas State and we run the same space-and-pace with getting up 3s and getting to the rim with kick-outs. We shared the ball a lot, so Iโ€™m going to make sure guys get open shots and guys are going to make sure I get shots.
