CONWAY, Ark. _  The University of Central Arkansas Bears added a former Arkansas Razorback and DePaul Blue Demon to the basketball program on Friday.

Darious Hall of Little Rock signed an NCAA letter of intent to transfer to UCA from DePaul. Hall, a highly recruited 6-foot-7, 205-pounder out of Mills University Studies High School back in 2017, played in 35 games as a true freshman at Arkansas. He averaged 5.1 points and 3.1 rebounds and shot 40.6 percent from three-point range for the Razorbacks.

Hall played the past two seasons at Big East DePaul, playing in 32 games in 2019-20 and playing in 18 of 20 games with 13 starts in 2020-21, averaging 4.9 points and 4.6 rebounds per game.

Hall was a three-time All-State selection at Mills and led the Comets to a 31-2 record and the 5A state championship as a senior, when he was named the state tournament Most Valuable Player. 

"Darious is an outstanding versatile player who will bring some very valued experience to our program,' said UCA head coach Anthony Boone. "I am so excited that he wants to finish his career as a Bear.'
