Akron, Ohio – The Akron Zips continue to build for the future by adding Florida Gator transfer Eric Hester (Clearwater, Fla.) to the roster, head coach John Groce announced Tuesday.
"We are excited to add a player like Eric to the roster," Groce said. "He is a 6-foot-3 high-energy guard with a 6-foot-10 wingspan. He is an exceptional two-way player that uses his length and skill to be a tremendous defender as well as an explosive offensive player that can make shots and finish at the rim."
Hester arrives to Akron from Florida and will be eligible to compete during the 2018-19 season.
