South Dakota State head coach Eric Henderson announced Thursday the addition of 6-2 guard Tray Buchanan for the 2019-20 season.

Buchanan, who spent last year at Des Moines Arena Community College, will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Buchanan earned NJCAA All-Region XI First Team honors for the 2018-19 campaign, leading DMACC with 19.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, shooting 46 percent from the field with 77 3-pointers.

Prior to DMACC, Buchanan attended North Dakota and appeared in 31 games as a true freshman. He averaged 4.7 points per contest for the Fighting Hawks and had six double-figure scoring games, including a career-best 19 at Montana State.

A 2017 graduate of United Township in East Moline, Illinois, Buchanan capped his high school career by earning Illinois Class 4A All-State second team honors from the Associated Press and Illinois Basketball Coaches Association.
