Gonzaga keeps bolstering its roster in hopes of capturing its first national championship.

Iowa State transfer Rasir Bolton announced his commitment to the Bulldogs on Friday.

Arkansas, Wake Forest, and Missouri State were also in the running for the 6-foot-3 guard.

Bolton requires a waiver to play this upcoming season since he transferred from Penn State to Iowa State after his freshman year. However, his father expects his son to be immediately eligible for 2021-22, according to ESPN's Myron Medcalf.

Bolton averaged 15.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.3 steals en route to earning All-Big 12 third-team honors last season. He also finished fourth in the conference in free-throw percentage (84.3%) and sixth in assist percentage (26.4%).

He's been a respectable outside threat throughout his collegiate career, shooting 34.2% from deep over three seasons.
