Former Syracuse center Jesse Edwards is transferring to West Virginia ahead of the 2023-24 season, he told ESPN's Jonathan Givony on Sunday.

"I felt it was time for a fresh start," Edwards said. "I needed a new environment to challenge myself in, and I think West Virginia is just that. I've met some great people on my visit here, and the campus looks amazing. This team could be something special."

Edwards chose West Virginia over Kansas, Michigan, Gonzaga, Texas Tech and Virginia Tech.
