The 5-foot-10 guard, who is based in Waikato, New Zealand, started 21 games in his senior season and averaged 13.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 36 steals per game. Leger Walker could bring veteran experience and a physical presence to the Bruins, who advanced to the Elite Eight in this season's NCAA Tournament.
Washington State finished eighth in the conference with a record of 21-15 overall and 7-11 in Pac-12 play.
Leger Walker has one season of eligibility remaining due to a COVID-19 waiver and ended his senior season early due to a torn ACL, according to reports. She ranks third in Washington State program history with 1,743 career points.
Leger-Walker's addition comes after the departures of forward Emilie Bessoir and big 6ft 2in Christine Iuala, the latter joining the transfer portal.
