STATESBORO — Georgia Southern men’s basketball redshirt sophomore center Tyshaun Crawford will transfer to Augusta University to continue his collegiate basketball career, according to the GS men’s basketball page.  

Crawford, measuring in at 7-foot-1, played a total of 27 minutes in the 2018-19 season and was the first seven footer for the Eagles since Emmett Smith in 1991.
