Penn State men's basketball's Donovon Jack signs professional contract with Leicester Riders

Donovon Jack is off to England.

The former Penn State forward signed with the Leicester City Riders of the British Basketball League Thursday morning.

The 6-foot-9 Jack averaged 5.2 points per game in his senior year for the Nittany Lions. Jack made big contributions throughout his career on the defensive side of the court, sitting seventh all-time in blocked shots in Lions’ history.

“Donovon has impressed me with the variety in his game. He has played at a high level at college in the US, and he brings an inside and an outside game,” Riders coach Rob Paternostro told the team’s official website.
