SAN DIEGO—Marcellus Earlington, a 6-6 junior from St. John's, will transfer to San Diego for the 2021-22 season, head coach Sam Scholl announced.
 
A guard/forward from Stony Point, New York, Earlington was one of three Johnnies to appear in all 27 games during the 2020-21 season.
 
"Marcellus impacts winning," said Scholl. "His versatility on both sides of the ball brings great value to winning on a daily basis. Marcellus has a huge heart and he consistently pours love, care, and enthusiasm into his teammates' success."
 
At St. John's, Earlington averaged 6.8 points and 4.1 rebounds in 16.9 minutes per contest as a junior, scoring double figures eight times. He scored a season-high 16 points against both Rider and Xavier and added a season-high nine boards against the Musketeers.
 
Earlington shot 42 percent from the field and 40 percent (27-of-67) from three-point range last season, closing out the season with a combined 7-of-11 from beyond the arc in two games against Seton Hall.
 
A graduate of Don Bosco Prep, Earlington was a two-time all-state selection, helping the team to a combined 58-5 during his junior and senior seasons. He led the Ironmen to a pair of NJSIAA Non-Public A Championships and consecutive appearances in the NJSIAA Tournament of Champions Title Game, scoring 24 points and 12 rebounds in the title game his senior year.
 
In his senior season, Earlington averaged 19 points and 11 rebounds per game, leading the Ironmen to a 28-3 overall record and a top-five ranking in the state of New Jersey.
 
Earlington joins transfers Bryce Monroe and Jase Townsend who also signed with the Toreros earlier this month.
