On April 4, Auburn guard Mustapha Heron announced he was entering the 2018 NBA Draft and intended to sign an agent. With the draft entry deadline looming, it appears Heron’s plans have changed significantly.

The New York Times’ Adam Zagoria reported Heron is withdrawing from the draft and will instead transfer from Auburn. The latest news is an unexpected one for Heron, whose signing with an agent would have meant his college career was over.
