AMES, Iowa — Former Arkansas Razorbacks guard Nick Babb is on his way to Ames.

After making his official visit to Iowa State over the weekend, Babb announced he committed to transferring to Iowa State via Twitter on Sunday.

I'm happy to inform everybody that I'm going to be an Iowa State Cyclone next year! #cyclONEnation S/O to @MonteMorris11 and @NazzyJLong ✊🏽 — Nick Weiler-Babb (@youngbabb14) April 12, 2015

The 6-foot-5 guard played only 4.7 minutes per game last year during his freshman season for the Razorbacks.

Coming out of high school, Babb was rated as the 17th-best player in the state of Texas by ESPN.com.

Due to NCAA transfer rules, Babb will have to sit out the 2015-16 season. He’s expected to join Monte Morris, Matt Thomas and Hallice Cooke in Iowa State’s backcourt for the 2016-17 season. He still has three years of eligibility remaining.

Babb fills one of four open scholarships that Fred Hoiberg and the Cyclones have at their disposal this offseason.

His older brother Chris played at Iowa State from 2011-13.
