LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. (AP) Siena's Jalen Pickett, a former Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference player of the year, is transferring to Penn State.

Pickett announced his decision Sunday on Twitter. He will have two years of eligibility remaining, making him a nice addition for new Nittany Lions coach Micah Shrewsberry.

Overlooked coming out of high school in Rochester, New York - he had less than a handful of Division I offers despite performing at a high level in AAU ball - Pickett was the first player coach Jamion Christian signed when he was hired by Siena before the 2018-19 season.
