Nebraska transfer forward Ugnius Jarusevicius has signed with Arizona, according to On3’s Pete Nakos.
The 6’10 Lithuania native entered the NCAA Transfer Portal last month, following a season where he only appeared in one game for the Huskers. Jarusevicius battled a back injury in the preseason before his lone appearance in an NU uniform in December. He then missed the entire rest of the non-conference season and was ultimately shut down for the year in February.

Formerly of Cal State Bakersfield and Central Michigan, he was a bit of a surprise signing for the Huskers in the portal last year. But after a breakout season with the Chippewas, there was hope he could be a key piece for Fred Hoiberg and Co.
In his lone game — an 86-55 win over New Hampshire, Jarusevicius scored 7 points, pulled down 2 rebounds and blocked 2 shots in 11 minutes while shooting a perfect 3-for-3 from the field.
As a junior at Central Michigan, he led the MAC in shooting percentage (53.7%) and averaged 16.9 points and 7.3 rebounds while also hitting 31% of his attempts from behind the arc.
