Former UNLV basketball player Dwayne Morgan is headed to Southern Utah, a source said Thursday.

Morgan will graduate from UNLV in December and then transfer, and he will have 1½ seasons of eligibility.

Southern Utah is coached by former UNLV interim coach Todd Simon. The teams meet Nov. 25 at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Morgan, a 6-foot 8-inch forward, averaged 9.4 points and 7.3 rebounds in eight games last season before being shut down because of hip and shoulder injuries.

He was arrested in May for a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and suspended from the team. UNLV, which was one player over the scholarship limit of 13, parted ways with Morgan in August.
