Texas Tech forward Devan Cambridge plans to enter NCAA transfer portal
Texas Tech forward Devan Cambridge plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, he told On3. He appeared in eight games for the Red Raiders this season before suffering a season-ending injury.
Cambridge started his career at Auburn, appearing in 91 games – including 33 starts – over three years on The Plains. He then transferred to Arizona State for the 2022-23 season and put up the best numbers of his career, averaging 9.8 points and 5.4 rebounds while starting 35 of 36 games.
Cambridge played high school basketball at Hillcrest Prep (Ariz.) High School, where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 228 overall player from the 2019 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Devan Cambridge is the second Texas Tech player to announce his plans to transfer. Pop Isaacs also did so late last month after leading the Red Raiders with 15.8 points per game this past season.
Isaacs was instrumental in helping the Red Raiders to a successful first season under Grant McCasland as they reached the NCAA Tournament after missing in 2023. The 6-foot-2 guard arrived in Lubbock with high expectations as a freshman in 2022-23. He certainly lived up to the hype as he averaged 11.5 points, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals to earn Big 12 All-Freshman honors. He also led Tech with 62 3-pointers made at a 37.8% clip.
Isaacs would go on to build upon those numbers this past season as he took another step forward. On a Jan. 20 game against BYU, he would set a new career high with 32 points on 6-of-9 from 3-point range. Not only that, but he chipped in five rebounds, four assists and three steals.
As a recruit, Isaacs was a four-star prospect out of Coronado High School in Las Vegas. He ranked as the No. 92 overall player and No. 15 point guard in the 2022 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
Texas Tech went 23-11 this season, including an 11-7 mark in Big 12 play, before falling to NC State in the first round of March Madness.
