Marcel Davis to leave basketball team
Marcel Davis’ father, Rodney Davis, announced last week that his son will leave the Utah State men’s basketball team after this semester. He initially made the announcement on USUfans.com and later confirmed it to the Salt Lake Tribune.
“Marcel just felt because he will be graduating a year early he wanted to start medical school as soon as possible and unfortunately USU wasn’t an option,” Rodney Davis wrote on the website. “We would like to thank their coaching staff for the opportunity that they gave Marcel.”
Marcel Davis is the fourth player to leave since the end of the season. He joins Kyle Davis, Jordan Stone and Danny Berger in addition to the five seniors – Sean Harris, Tenale Roland, Jarred Shaw, Spencer Butterfield and Preston Medlin – who are graduating.
Davis averaged 15 minutes per game and 2.2 points per game and 2.6 assists. Jalen Moore is the only remaining Aggie who averaged more than 10 minutes per game last season.
