Ferrell Inks UAB Transfer Ard Jr.

CLINTON, S.C. --- Presbyterian College and men's basketball head coach Quinton Ferrell announced Wednesday the addition of Terrell Ard, Jr. (Acworth, Ga.) to the roster. He comes to Presbyterian after one season at the University of Alabama – Birmingham.

Ard, Jr., appeared in four games, logging eight minutes before he suffered an ACL injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the 2020-21 season.

"Terrell is a physically gifted athlete," Coach Ferrell said. "He is big and athletic at 6'7" and 220 pounds. Terrell is very versatile and can score from both the perimeter and the post. He also brings a different dimension defensively, being able to guard multiple positions. We look forward to incorporating Terrell with the rest of our returners. We are excited to welcome him and his entire family to the Blue Hose family!"

A 6'7 forward, Ard, Jr. did a post graduate year at Putnam Science Academy in Putnam, Conn., after graduating from Allatoona High School in 2019. He averaged 8.0 points per game and 7.0 rebounds per game while leading Putnam to a share of the 2020 National Prep Championship with a 36-4 record. He recorded a double-double and a season-high 23 points and 17 rebounds against Dohn Prep in the First Round of the National Prep Championship playoffs.

While at Allatoona, Ard, Jr. averaged 14.3 points per game, 8.0 rebounds per game and 4.1 assists per game.

Ard, Jr. joins class of 2021 signees James Lavorn, III (Anderson, S.C.) and Marquis Bennett (Saginaw, Mich.) as the newest members of the Blue Hose roster.
