Tahron Morrison, a 6-foot-8-inch forward from Solano College, has joined the Golden Eagles, Cal State L.A. head coach Dieter Horton announced on Wednesday. He averaged 7.3 points and 3.3 rebounds per game at Solano.
Morrison originally signed with Holy Names in 2014, but did not compete at the school.
"We are very excited to have Tahron as a Golden Eagle," Horton said. "He fills a need that we have on the front line and brings versatility to both forward positions. Tahron's size and upside are very exciting. We cannot wait to have him on campus."
Morrison attended Vanden High School, where he helped his squad reach the second round of the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs and finish with a 22-7 record. He was his school's Player of the Year and earned first-team All-Solano County Athletic Conference and All-City honors. He was also listed in the Norcal Prep Top-40.
His dad, Teryl, played professional baseball in the Cleveland Indians' organization and he has a twin sister, Tahvia, who plays basketball at UC Riverside.
