It’s down to Virginia and NC State for former Houston small forward Terrance Arceneaux.

Jeff Goodman of “The Field of 68” reported that the 6-foot-6, 205-pound Arceneaux visited UVA this week after visiting NC State last week, and will choose between the Cavaliers and Wolfpack, both guided by new head coaches.

Arceneaux was a 5-star prospect coming out of high school, the No. 27 overall player (Rivals) in the recruiting class of 2022. As a freshman at Houston, he was voted to the AAC All-Freshman team, playing in 34 games. His sophomore season was cut short, suffering a season-ending Achilles tendon injury after only 11 contests.

This past season, playing in 40 games with the Cougars, Arceneaux averaged 6.5 points per game, made 50.7 percent of his 2-point attempts, 33.7 percent from the arc and 44 percent overall, playing 20 minutes per game.

Both 247Sports and On3 rank him as a 4-star prospect in the transfer portal, the No. 76 overall player in the portal (by 247) and the No. 18 shooting guard.
