EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Forward A.J. Turner is transferring to Northwestern from Boston College.

The 6-foot-7 Turner played two years at Boston College. He averaged 8.4 points while shooting 42.4 percent from the field and 37.4 percent from 3-point range last season. He will sit out next season and then have two years of eligibility left.

Turner joins a program that made the NCAA Tournament for the first time last season. Northwestern announced the move on Thursday.

We’re thrilled to formally announce the addition of @ajturnerr11 to the #B1GCats roster.
