Arizona’s Brandon Randolph, left, and Brandon Williams, right, celebrate with Devonaire Doutrive, center, after Doutrive scored as time expired to lift the Wildcats to a road win against Oregon State.

Arizona guard Devonaire Doutrive will transfer from the Arizona Wildcats after one season, his guardian said Monday.

Laurian Watkins, trainer and guardian/mentor for Doutrive, confirmed his decision.

”He is looking for a spot that’s more suitable for him going forward,β€œ Watkins said via text message. β€œU of A was awesome just not the best fit for him!”

The 6-foot-5-inch, 174-pound Doutrive played sparingly for the Wildcats last season but showed flashes of potential and was one of the teamβ€˜s best offensive rebounders. He hit a game-winning basket at Oregon State. Doutrive averaged 3.3 pounds and 3.0 rebounds in 11 minutes per game.Β 

Doutriveβ€˜s departure means the Wildcats are back to the maximum of 13 scholarship players for next season.Β
