With the departures of Nigel Hawkins and Jordan Lathon into the Transfer Portal, UTEP needs to add an experienced point guard to their roster for next season.
UTEP sophomore guard Jordan Lathon joined Nigel Hawkins on Thursday in becoming the second player from the Miner basketball team to enter the transfer portal following the 2019-20 season.
UTEP sophomore guard Nigel Hawkins re-entered the transfer portal Thursday morning, following the men's basketball season which came to an end last week in the C-USA Tournament.
