Oregon has added a third guard transfer.

Former USF and Syracuse guard Priscilla Williams committed to the Ducks on Friday. She has three years of eligibility remaining.

UPDATE: UO formally announced Williams’ signing on Wednesday.

“Priscilla is a proven player at this level and possesses great leadership skills,” Oregon coach Kelly Graves said in a statement. “She has great length and is an elite shooter with great range, and also is extremely versatile at both ends of the floor. She’s eager to prove herself and get back to the player she can be. Priscilla fits in nicely with our current group – she is a great teammate with a fun personality that gives us experience in a young backcourt. She’s just scratching the surface of her potential and we cannot wait to see what she can do at Oregon.”

A 6-foot-2 guard, Williams averaged 2.2 points and 1.1 rebounds in 17 games off the bench last season for the Bulls. She shot 26.2% from the field but 40.9% from three.

Williams began her career at Syracuse in 2020-21, starting 20 games while averaging 8.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists. She redshirted the next season due to injury.

She’s the third player in the transfer portal to join the Ducks this offseason, joining former Liberty guard Kennedi Williams and former Miami University guard Peyton Scott. The Ducks still have four open scholarships for 2023-24.
