Morgan State sophomore center Chris McCarthy has transferred to Alvernia College in Reading, Pa.

McCarthy, 6 feet 11, was averaging 1.7 points and 3.0 rebounds as a reserve in three games.

Last season, he started 28 of 29 games, averaged 5.8 points and 5.8 rebounds and made the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference All-Rookie team. He was featured in an ESPN segment about the life of a white athlete at a historically black college.

"We are really sorry to see Chris leave, but support his decision and encourage him in his future endeavors," interim coach Lynn Ramage said in a statement.

Walk-on guard Anthony Dorsey of Camp Springs also has left the team.
