Oregon men’s basketball point guard Ahmaad Rorie will transfer from the program, according to a report from 247sports.

Rorie informed 247sports of his intentions to transfer on Friday. Justin Hopkins of 247 said the University of Montana appears to be the front-runner to land Rorie.

As a freshman, Rorie appeared in 36 games with 15 starts. He averaged 4.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists.

A three-star recruit from Tacoma, Wash., Rorie chose Oregon over Washington and Washington State in May 2014 after de-committing from Cal a month earlier.

Rorie was expected to compete with sophomore Casey Benson and incoming four-star recruit Kendall Small for minutes at point guard in the upcoming season.
