Belmont Forward Drew Scharnowski Transfers to Duke Basketball

On Sunday, April 19, 2026, Belmont forward Drew Scharnowski announced his commitment to Duke, marking the Blue Devils' first addition from the NCAA transfer portal this offseason.
Scharnowski entered the transfer portal four weeks ago following the departure of Belmont head coach Casey Alexander, who left to lead Kansas State's program in March.
The 6-foot-9, 230-pound redshirt sophomore averaged 10.7 points and 6.0 rebounds per game last season, earning First Team All-Missouri Valley Conference honors while shooting 68.1% from the field.
Duke head coach Jon Scheyer noted that Scharnowski "can guard multiple positions on the floor and protect the rim at a high level, making him a big addition to next year."
While adding the forward, the Blue Devils have seen departures this offseason, with Darren Harris transferring to Indiana and Nikolas Khamenia moving to UConn.
