BREAKING | Huge pickup for Chris Beard as Ole Miss adds Virginia Tech transfer point guard Sean Pedulla

OXFORD, Miss. –  Ole Miss men’s basketball has made a huge addition to their backcourt with a commitment Wednesday from Sean Pedulla, who will be transferring from the competitive program of Virginia Tech.

Following Chris Beard’s first year, it was clear that the team would be looking to find a traditional point guard in the portal, one who could score consistently while operating the offense at the same time — and it appears he has found that player.

In his three seasons in the ACC, Pedulla played in over 30 games per year and developed into one of the best point guards in the conference.

Most recently in the 2023-2024 season, the junior led the Hokies in points, averaging 16.4 points per game along with 4.6 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.2 steals. In terms of his shooting, he finished 42.4 percent from the field, 80.1 percent from the free-throw line, and 32.5 percent from beyond the arch.

Two of his best games occurred against Clemson and Miami when Pedulla scored 32 and 33 points in back-to-back games.

Pedulla’s efforts earned him a spot on the All-ACC third team as well as the All-ACC academic team.

Even before college, the Oklahoma native was a highly-ranked four-star coming out of high school and was considered a top 40 player nationwide, according to 247 Sports. His leadership abilities, paired with his talent, will give Pedulla a chance to make a major impact on Chris Beard’s 2024–2025 squad.

Pedulla joins transfers Malik Dia (Belmont), Mikeal Brown-Jones (UNC-Greensboro), Dre Davis (Seton Hall) and Davon Barnes (Sam Houston State) in this portal class for the Rebels thus far.
