RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -Tennessee reserve guard Marques Johnson has transferred to North Carolina State, Wolfpack coach Sidney Lowe said Thursday.

Johnson, a freshman, has enrolled in classes and will be eligible to play for the Wolfpack at the conclusion of the fall 2007 semester.

Johnson averaged 2 points in about 11 minutes per game for Tennessee.

The depth-challenged Wolfpack (10-6, 0-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) played only six players until the final minute of their loss to No. 17 Clemson earlier this week. Point guard Engin Atsur has missed 10 of 11 games with a nagging hamstring injury.
