Oregon State Transfer Big Parsa Fallah Transferring to Oklahoma State

PORTAL TRACKER

The Cowboys had grabbed a handful of guards out of the portal, but now Steve Lutz and Co. have a big.

Parsa Fallah, a 6-foot-9, 260-pound Oregon State transfer, is set to make a move to Oklahoma State. In 31 games this the Beavers this past season, Parsa averaged 12.8 points, four rebounds and an assist a game.

“When Parsa catches the ball on the low block, good things happen,” said Lutz in OSU’s release. “He’s a tough, experienced big man with elite footwork and feel. I expect his versatility to fit in well with our style of play. I’m thrilled to welcome him and his wife, Ellie, to Stillwater.”

He spent two seasons at Southern Utah to start his college career. Appearing in 33 games as a freshman, he averaged 3.6 points and 2.1 rebounds a contest. He showed his potential in a game against West Coast Baptist, where Fallah scored 20 points on 11 shots to go with 17 rebounds.

He started all 25 games he played in as a sophomore at Southern Utah. Fallah averaged 13.2 points, six rebounds and 1.6 assists a game. He scored in double figures 18 times that season, including four games in the 20s. He dropped 29 in a game against Idaho State. He had a pair of double-doubles as a sophomore: 15 points, 12 rebounds against Northern Arizona and 14 points, 10 rebounds against Montana State.

At Oregon State this past season, Fallah scored in double figures in 20 games. He scored 24 or more points six times and finished the year shooting 60% from the field.

At 6-9, 260, Fallah is tough to push around in the paint, but he is still pretty nimble for that size. He’s the type of center that Lutz has shown to like early in his tenure in Stillwater.

Out of Amol, Iran, Fallah played in the 2021 FIBA U19 World Cup. In seven games, he averaged 14.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and two assists a game. That included a 21-point outing against Mali and a 25-point game against Latvia.

Fallah is the Cowboys’ fifth portal addition this offseason but the first who plays in the frontcourt. He joins Kanye Clary (Mississippi State), Isaiah Coleman (Seton Hall), Anthony Roy (Green Bay) and Vyctorious Miller (LSU). OSU’s five transfers combined to average 69.3 points a game last season.
