Diarra, the Queens, New York native, joins the Huskies from Texas A&M. He will have three years of eligibility remaining.
Diarra averaged just over six points per game and 31.8 percent from 3-point range in 58 games with the Aggies.
At 6-foot-2, 196 pounds, Diarra brings it on defense and can provide support at point guard. The Putnam Science Academy product, class of 2020, was a serious target for UConn head coach Dan Hurley.
Diarra becomes the third guard to join UConn from the transfer portal. Tristen Newton transferred over from East Carolina and Nahiem Alleyn, is a transfer from Virginia Tech.
The Huskies, like many teams across the nation, have had a roller coaster of an offseason as it pertains to the transfer portal.
Guards Corey Floyd Jr. (Providence), Rahsool Diggins (UMass), and Jalen Gaffney (Florida Atlantic) have all departed. Moreover, forward Akok Akok has signed with Georgetown.
