Xavier has landed its first piece for next season via the NCAA's transfer portal.

According to a report from Joe Tipton of On3Sports, Furman transfer guard Marcus Foster has committed to Xavier.

A 6-foot-4 guard, Foster brings experience to the Musketeers after spending the last five seasons at Furman. Foster, an Atlanta native, was a starter for the Paladins over the last three years, helping lead the program to the NCAA Tournament in 2023. That year, he scored 14 points in Furman's first-round upset win over No. 4 Virginia.

Overall, Foster has averaged 10 points per game in his collegiate career. Last season, he averaged 17 points and a team-high 7.5 rebounds per game while shooting 42.5% from the field. Furman went 17-16 and lost to Samford in the opening round of the Southern Conference Tournament.

Foster has one year of eligibility remaining and now joins a talented backcourt that includes Dayvion McKnight and Desmond Claude, but lost the Big East's leading scorer in Quincy Olivari.
