Former UMass guard Derrick Gordon is coming home. The Plainfield, N.J. native told USA TODAY Sports he is transferring to Seton Hall.
Gordon, the first openly gay Division I men's college basketball player, announced in March he planned to leave UMass. Gordon came out in April of 2014.
According to USA TODAY, Gordon said, "I'm walking into a great situation. This gives me a chance to showcase what I can really do in one of the best conferences (the Big East) in the country, in the national spotlight."
Gordon is a 6'3" guard who began his career at Western Kentucky. USA TODAY reports Gordon will be eligible to play immediately as a graduate transfer. He averaged 9.8 points and 4.9 rebounds a game this past season for the Minutemen.

Great Start for New York Mets Rookie Pitcher
Noah Syndergaard dreamed about the moment for months and then dazzled in his home debut Sunday, tossing six innings of one-run ball to earn his first Major League victory as the Mets topped the Brewers, 5-1, to earn a series win.
The Mets' No.1 prospect struck out five against one walk, surrendered just three hits and again showcased the powerful repertoire that made him the youngest Mets starting pitcher to debut since Jon Niese in 2008. Syndergaard came out firing, striking out three of the first four Brewers, includingRyan Braun on a 97-mph fastball. He threw 20 of his first 24 pitches for strikes and exited after 95 total.
After faltering in the sixth inning in his Major League debut earlier this week, he hiccuped in that frame again Sunday, allowing a hit and hitting a batter before Braun's RBI single. But Syndergaard limited the damage this time by inducing two flyouts to end his day on a high note.
