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.
Seton Hall is in need of depth at the guard position
