Utah Basketball's Howard Enters Transfer Portal

0:00On March 17th, Utah's basketball team is facing more roster shakeups as forward jockey Howard announces he's entering the transfer portal. This comes just days after teammate Elijah Moore made the same move. Both players joined the running Utes last off season for head coach Alex Jensen's first year. Howard, a six foot seven forward, transferred from Auburn, where he averaged 4.2 points as a freshman. He committed to Utah on April as a top recruit, but left the team in January for family reasons after playing just six games. Fans and analysts note Howard's struggle to crack the rotation, scoring only two field goals total, and averaging 1.3 points. Meanwhile, Elijah Moore appeared only in the opener before stepping away for personal matters. To fill the gap, Utah turned to bench forward Josh Hayes, who stepped up with solid minutes late in Big 12 play, alongside returners Keanu Dawes, and Sadu Trawori. As the 15-day transfer window opens April 7th, Howard's athletic talent could draw big interest from programs nationwide.
