Pe’Shon Howard
Terrapins men’s basketball guard Pe’Shon Howard has been granted permission to transfer for his senior season, coach Mark Turgeon announced in a news release today.
“We wish Pe’Shon the best and thank him for his contributions as a student-athlete at the University of Maryland,” Turgeon said in the release. “We are disappointed that he is leaving, but Pe’Shon shared with me that his grandmother is ill in California and that he would like to finish his final season of eligibility playing closer to home. We understand this is best for Pe’Shon and his family and will support him through this transition.”
Howard shuffled in and out of Turgeon’s starting lineup during his junior season, and finished with averages of 3.3 points and 3.6 assists in 36 games. He averaged 4.7 points and 3.5 assists over 83 career games.
“I want to thank coach Turgeon for allowing me to pursue an opportunity to complete my final season of college basketball at a university closer to home,” Howard said. “It was a very difficult decision because I really enjoyed my three years as a student-athlete at Maryland, but my grandmother is sick and I feel it is best that I be closer to my family. I love my teammates and wish them the very best and appreciate all of the support and guidance that I received from my coaches.”
