Oziyah Sellers has enrolled at SMU and is practicing with the men’s basketball team, the school announced. The fifth-year guard is awaiting a decision on his eligibility, and the announcement did not include a timeline for that status.

Sellers started 36 games for St. John’s in 2025-26, averaging 10.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists. The Red Storm went 30-7 and won the Big East championship. Before that season, Sellers started every game for Stanford in 2024-25 and averaged 13.7 points per game in the ACC. He spent his first two college seasons at USC under SMU coach Andy Enfield.

Sellers has converted 37.8% of his career three-point attempts and posted a career-best 42.9% from beyond the arc as a USC sophomore. He has made 86.9% of his free throws. His addition comes as SMU begins its third season with Enfield and enters 2026-27 with a transfer class ranked No. 21 nationally by On3.
