Liberty has added a commitment from Kaden Metheny, a transfer from Bowling Green. The 5’11”, 180 pound guard has two seasons of eligibility remaining which could become three if he receives a medical redshirt for the 2021-22 season where he only played 10 games due to injury.

Originally from Morgantown, West Virginia, Metheny has started  63 of 64 career games he’s played in for the Falcons over the previous three years. This past season, Metheny started 27 of 28 games while averaging 31.8 minutes per game. He averaged 10.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.6 assists each game. Metheny was 77 of 173 from three for 38.2% this season as Bowling Green finished 11-20 on the season and 5-13 in the MAC.

For his career, Metheny averaged 9.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game while shooting 34.0% from three and 78.5% from the free throw line. He missed most of his second season at Bowling Green due to a high ankle sprain. Metheny entered the portal following Bowling Green head coach Michael Huger’s firing from the program. Metheny reportedly had about 30 schools reach out to him while he was in the portal.

Metheny will add another ball-handler in the backcourt alongside Colin Porter and also push for a starting position as the Flames look for someone to take the starting guard spot left vacated by Darius McGhee’s departure. Liberty still has two scholarships available for next season’s team.
