DAYTON – Wright State head men's basketball coach Clint Sargent has announced the addition of transfer Chadlyn Traylor to join the Raider program.
Â
Traylor, a 6-3 guard from Charlotte, North Carolina, joins the Raiders after spending his first collegiate season at the College of Charleston, while he was a three-time state champion in high school.
Â
"Chadlyn is everything we're looking for in a player in today's era of evaluating: humble, ultra-competitive, and a proven winner," Sargent said. "He brings a calm, confident presence to the floor with outstanding poise and decision-making. We believe Chadlyn has all the tools to become a dominant two-way player in this league. His upside is tremendous and we're excited about what he will bring to our program on and off the floor."
Â
Traylor played in all 32 of the College of Charleston's games in 2025-26, averaging 17.3 minutes/game while earning his first career start against Evansville in the 2025 Paradise Jam. He scored in 24 contests, recording four double-digit scoring games, including a career-high 12 points against Florida Atlantic. Traylor shot 41.0 percent last season overall and 39.5 percent from three-point range, tallying 11 games with over a 50.0 shooting percentage. On the glass, the guard grabbed a rebound in 22 contests and had multiple boards in 10 games.
Â
Traylor's 65 total assists were the second-most on the College of Charleston roster, with his 4.1 assist-to-turnover ratio finishing as the 12th-best mark in Division I last season. He dished out multiple assists in 18 games, including a career-best seven assists against Hampton and had a pair of five-assist nights against South Carolina State and Evansville.Â
Â
Traylor, a former McDonald's All-America nominee, helped lead North Mecklenburg to back-to-back North Carolina 4A state titles in 2024 and 2025, tallying 15 points on the way to the 2024 title before a 22-point effort in the 2025 title win. He also added a North Carolina 3A state title as a freshman at West Charlotte.
Â
Traylor becomes the first transfer addition to the Wright State roster, joining high school signees Noah Lewis and Tahj Martin.
